31: Truth to Power Ratio
Political Rhetoric and the Truth-to-Power Ratio
The hosts examine political catchphrases used by the Democratic Party, such as "gravitas" and "speaking truth to power." They trace the origins of the "truth to power" phrase back to a 1955 Quaker pamphlet and its later use by Anita Hill. Adam Curry jokingly proposes a "Truth-to-Power Ratio" (TPR) as a metric for measuring political authenticity.
