How to Think Clearly When Everything is Uncertain: AI, Science, and the Battle for Truth with Tiffany Vora
“If you’re reacting instead of responding, you’re probably being manipulated.”
In an era where facts are debated and truth feels more like a point of view than a shared foundation, how do we make sense of the world around us? In this episode of Sense Making Conversations, Andrea Sampson sits down with futurist and molecular biologist Dr. Tiffany Vora to explore the collapsing boundaries between fact, perception, and belief—and how scientific thinking can help us find solid ground.
Why our understanding of “truth” has shifted from something objective to something emotional—and what we lose when that shift goes unexamined
How generative AI is changing not just what we believe, but how we form beliefs
What it takes to move from confusion to clarity—by slowing down, questioning our assumptions, and learning to respond instead of react
This is a conversation for anyone who feels disoriented in today’s information landscape—where what’s real is up for debate, and certainty is hard to come by. If you’re trying to hold onto critical thinking in a world full of noise, this episode is a grounding place to begin.
