In this provocative episode of Iconoclast Insights, host André Daus challenges our fundamental understanding of what constitutes a “fact.” Is a fact truly an objective piece of reality, or is it merely an interpretation that has gained dominance through authority and repetition?
Through thought-provoking analysis and compelling examples, André explores how facts function not just as claims about reality, but as instruments of power in our political and social discourse. He examines why we invoke facts to shut down conversations rather than open them up, and questions whether our confidence in fact-checking is sometimes misplaced.
This 15-minute intellectual journey will transform how you think about truth, perspective, and the way we communicate our understanding of the world. André offers a new framework for more honest, humble conversations that recognize the complexity of truth without abandoning its pursuit.
Whether you’re frustrated by today’s polarized debates or simply curious about the nature of truth itself, this episode promises to leave you with a more nuanced understanding of what we mean when we declare something “a fact.”
“The moment you’re absolutely certain you have all the facts is precisely the moment to question them most rigorously.” — André Daus
