Misinformation

Our conversation will be about exercising our critical mind around the topic of misinformation. We will rather focus on asking questions about this complex topic than coming up with quick answers. Let's embark into a journey of questioning our beliefs and reconsidering what reality and truth are.

What are we going to talk about?

• The journey of misinformation: Something new? How do we decide what is true or not?
• Our role as individuals and communities as information hubs.
• Role of platforms and AI in modern misinformation
• The triggering power of emotional information: How does misinformation inform us about our brain? And vice versa!
• Bonus: How can we (as community and individual) debunk disinformation?

Here are some cool appetizers for thoughts 👇

• Why people fall for misinformation?
• How statistics can be misleading?
• Why Do Our Brains Love Fake News?
• Confirmation Bias in 5 Minutes
• Difference between MISinformation and DISinformation

Looking forward to sharing and learning about each other's perspective ! :)
