This week, on The Independents, Carla Gericke explores a growing breakdown in trust between individuals and large institutions—especially around health, risk, and personal experience. This is a conversation about:
- Why population-level thinking can clash with individual experience
- How phrases like “correlation isn’t causation” shape public understanding
- The role of social media in amplifying—and then limiting—certain conversations
- How the COVID era changed how many people view authority, expertise, and consent
- Why some are shifting focus from federal systems to local and state-level action
This episode is not about telling you what to think. It’s about asking better questions.
