There are two different ways to understand Donald Trump and Elon Musk and they are living in my head (and fighting) rent free. One is the version championed by the Republicans, the other, by the Democrats. Let's discuss. BTW - I spent like 8 hours watching pundits talk about this today, so I hope you enjoy this episode
In 2016, when Donald Trump won the first time, a little-known book became an unexpected phenomenon. It was “The Revolt of the Public,” self-published two years earlier by a former C.I.A. media analyst, Martin Gurri. Gurri, who is now a visiting research fellow at the Mercatus Center, argued that a revolution in how information flowed was driving political upheavals in country after country: The dynamics of modern media ecosystems naturally created distrust toward institutions and elites, and this was fueling waves of revolt against the status quo. The problem, though, was that though these dynamics could destroy existing political systems, they could not build enduring replacements.Gurri's book has been on my mind over the past year. In some ways, it explains 2024 better than it explains 2016. But time didn't just change Gurri's book; it changed Gurri. After refusing to cast a ballot for president in 2016 and 2020, he voted for Donald Trump in 2024. And in his writing for The Free Press, The New York Post and elsewhere, he's been arguing that Trump's second term might herald the mastery of this new informational world and the emergence of an enduring new political system.I found myself more convinced by Gurri's old theory than his new one. So I asked him on the show to talk about it.(Also: If you're interested in joining Ezra Klein on his book tour in March and April, you can see the stops and get tickets for the events here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/p/abundance-tour)Book Recommendations:Postjournalism and the Death of Newspapers by Andrey Mir.Why Most Things Fail by Paul OrmerodNot Born Yesterday by Hugo MercierThoughts?

The Revolt of the Public Podcast Summary | Understanding the Crisis of AuthorityEver wondered why trust in governments, media, and institutions is crumbling? In this episode, we dive into The Revolt of the Public by Martin Gurri—a groundbreaking analysis of how the digital age has disrupted authority and empowered ordinary people to challenge the status quo. This podcast unpacks the dynamics of our turbulent times and offers insights into navigating a world where information moves faster than trust.
Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. Today, we dive deep into the ever-evolving world of information and media with our guest, Martin Gurri, a former CIA analyst and renowned author of The Revolt of the Public. In this enlightening conversation, Gurri examines the intricate dynamics of elites, the impact of political figures like Trump and Obama, and the transformative potential of AI in modern governance. We explore the increasingly vital role of new governance models such as charter cities and network states, alongside the significant shifts driven by digital and artificial intelligence. Gurri challenges the notion of societal chaos by contrasting online turmoil with real-world stability, drawing on his personal experiences and historical parallels. From the influence of Elon Musk on free speech and media control to the relentless barrage of information in the digital age, this episode uncovers how we can navigate these turbulent waters. Gurri's insights into communication, persuasion, and the pursuit of truth within complex systems remind us of the importance of adaptation and critical thinking.

The rise of the internet 25 years ago amplified information, in the process accelerating the deterioration of institutional structures around the world. Society has so far proven resilient but our abilities to construct and sustain guiding narratives are fraying. The implications for economics, politics and even markets are and will continue to be profound. Martin Gurri, former CIA analyst, author and visiting fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, joins the podcast for a thought-provoking discussion of his life's work on the intersection of media and politics, and the search for meaning in the age of information overload.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
“Post-journalism essentially is the idea that journalism commodifies polarization,” says former CIA media analyst Martin Gurri.Instead of seeking objectivity and broad appeal to the general public, media seek to become a refuge for a subset of the population: “a temple of ideology” for people who share the same worldview, Gurri argues.“If you take the Russia story where [Trump] was supposed to have been basically Vladimir Putin's agent, [the New York Times] published at least 3,000 (by my estimate) stories on Trump being manipulated by the Russians. … They got millions and millions of subscribers because of that,” Gurri says.He's the author of the “The Fifth Wave” Substack column and author of “The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium.”In this episode, we dive into the radical transformation of the media and information ecosystems.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

The Revolt of the Public - Book review! A book that is crucial to understanding where we are - how we got here - what is next! - (The following is a summary from Amazon) - In the words of economist and scholar Arnold Kling, Martin Gurri saw it coming. Technology has categorically reversed the information balance of power between the public and the elites who manage the great hierarchical institutions of the industrial age government, political parties, the media. The Revolt of the Public tells the story of how insurgencies, enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere, have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world.

Martin Gurri joins Brian C. Anderson to discuss how we can transcend the pettiness and corruption of our current political moment.
At your fingertips, your phone contains an infinite supply of information. So what happens when the government tries to control that? The people lose trust in our institutions and revolt. As the government tries to censor and regulate your access to information and we continue to expose censorship, people no longer trust our institutional structures, the elites panic, and we have a cycle of a crisis of authority. Martin Gurri, author of “The Revolt of the Public,” explains in his book how censorship led to an inevitable divide between the American people and the government. He joins host James Poulos to discuss populism, nihilism, and the popularization of modern-day icons like Donald Trump and Barack Obama. From the prototype of the Tea Party movement to Obama's campaign, the revolt of the public has been brewing for quite some time. How can we move forward while AI centralizes information and technology becomes more accessible and harder to control? Martin Gurri and James Poulos discuss this and much more on this episode of "Zero Hour." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Strongmen are making a comeback. The hyperlibertarian Javier Milei in Argentina and the anti-immigration Geert Wilders in the Netherlands are among a growing group of recently elected leaders who promise to break a few rules, shake up democratic institutions and spread a populist message.Is it a reaction against the failures of liberal democracies? Or is there something else behind the appeal of these misbehaving men with wild hair?This week on “Matter of Opinion,” the hosts debate where the urge to turn to strongmen is coming from and whether it's such a bad thing after all. Plus, young listeners share their formative political moments, even in the middle of class.(A full transcript of the episode will be available midday on the Times website.)

Martin Gurri joins Brian C. Anderson to discuss the government's efforts to control online speech.
Technology makes our current government obsolete, here's why. I just finished reading an amazing book called "The Revolt of The Public" which goes back through history and about how technology changes the way we communicate and act. It explains many problems that we see today, specifically the problems with the loss of trust of Institutions and the way that this top-down control works and of course the way that the economic model is mimicking the complex system of information. So I sat down with the author of the book for an amazing conversation, Martin Gurri joins me and we are going to discuss the book itself, the fourth and fifth wave of communication and how the parabolic increase in the rise of information is making the current forms of government obsolete. Then we go through recent history to look at revolutions that happened from 2011, like the Occupy Wall Street and so much more! I go on to explain where we're going and how you should be managing your life especially with bills like 'the Restrict Act' that's going into place right now. So let's go.

In this episode, former CIA Media analyst and author Martin Gurri describes how digital technologies have maybe irreversibly changed the information landscape, with profound implications for governance.
A wonderful recorded conversation at the Henry Miller Library with Martin Gurri, a geopolitical analyst and student of new media and information effects. Martin Gurri spent many years working in the corner of the CIA dedicated to the analysis of open media. From that privileged perch, he watched the global information landscape undergo a transformation so radical as to seem unprecedented in the history of our species. After leaving government, Gurri focused his research on the motive forces powering this transformation. The result of this labor is The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium. He lives in Virginia.Links to a few things we talk about:Martin GurriThe Free Press / Bari WeissThe Revolt of The PublicPostjournalismJonathan HaidtAnother interview well worth your attention with Martin Gurri."Gurri's book doesn't just point and blame, in the manner of most recent political non-fiction.

Martin explains his concept of how communications technology evolves in great leaps, instead of incremental steps, and identifies what he considers to be the five great epochs in the evolution of communications technology. Additionally, Martin provides a historical take on the ways in which these changes have influenced the course of history. In their conversation, Martin also explains how information is sifted by people, including the differences between how written information is processed as opposed to visual information. Martin and Kristen discuss the ways in which these differences are often exploited, as well as the need for people to learn how to process visual information in a healthy manner. To learn more about the topics discussed in today's conversation, consider reading Martin Gurri's book: The Revolt of The Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millenium.Read more work from Martin Gurri.Read more work from Kristen Collins.If you like the show, please leave a 5-star review for us on Apple Podcasts and tell others about the show!

The elites used to control the narrative. Now? The public is revolting and the elites are panicking. How did we get here? This week on Truth Over Tribe, Keith talks with former CIA analyst Martin Gurri to find out. Gurri published a book in 2014, "The Revolt of the Public," where he correctly predicted the cultural chaos we have been experiencing the past few years. Today, he and Keith dissect what has gotten us to this point: What caused the narrative shift away from the elites? Why has the public lost trust in institutions? And most importantly, is there any way institutions can repair this lack of trust? Tune in now!Ok, truth time... Did you like this episode? Tell us by leaving a rating or review!
