Social scientist and international consultant David Ryback offers an in-depth overview of the fascinating dynamics of The Big Split, focusing on . . .

  • the intense support for former President Trump,
  • the psychological secrets to why QAnon grew so quickly,
  • a neuroscientific explanation for the January 6 assault on the Capitol,
  • a clear explanation of how algorithms work,
  • what has contributed to the loss of trust in the government since 9/11,
  • how to bridge the gap to communicate successfully with someone on the "other side,"
  • the origins and power of conspiracy theories,
  • and finally, how a reliable democracy like the US can turn into a complete dictatorship if we don't make some changes.
