## Resource

We're in an information war. In fact, we're in multiple information wars at once — a helpful term for it is 'poly-war'. In other words, we're being attacked from many sides: health, mental, and physical. It's why I do what I do — to fit the many puzzle pieces together, try to see the bigger picture, and figure out what's true. UK Column's Mike Robinson and Charles Malet joined me for our weekly banter, where we threw around ideas on how to effectively fight all these wars.
