4/18 (Sat.) Outsmart the Algorithm: Why Intelligent People Believe Fake News
Details
Have you ever met a "Mr. Know-it-all" who was confidently wrong? Or realized your social media feed has become an "Invisible Cage" that only shows you what you already agree with? 🕸️
In our upcoming session, we’re diving deep into the psychology of misinformation. It’s not just about "fake news"—it’s about how Algorithms, the Dunning-Kruger Effect, and our own Egos create the perfect storm for deception.
We will explore:
✅ The Filter Bubble: How algorithms limit our world view.
✅ The "Fast-Share" Trap: Why outrage spreads 6x faster than truth.
✅ Cognitive Dissonance: Why it hurts so much to admit we were wrong.
Whether you've been fooled by a Deepfake or struggled to burst your own "Filter Bubble," bring your stories and join us for a night of sharp English discussion !
