The Culture of Disbelief

The Culture of Disbelief refers to a societal trend where people become skeptical of established institutions and sources of authority, such as government, science, and media. This skepticism often leads to a mistrust of factual information and expertise. As individuals increasingly rely on personal beliefs and anecdotal evidence, it can create divisions and hinder collaborative efforts to address complex issues. This phenomenon can be fueled by political polarization, social media, and a growing sense of disenfranchisement, ultimately impacting how communities engage with facts, policies, and each other.
