We will be kicking off our module on the psychology of disinformation with Andy Norman, philosopher and author of Mental Immunity: Infectious Ideas, Mind-Parasites, and the Search for a Better Way to Think! It’s never too early to start preparing for those dreaded Thanksgiving conversations (I mean, they are already selling pumpkin-spiced lattes), so join us to learn how to parry unreasonable arguments made by people with poor mental hygiene.
You can check out the idea of cognitive immunology as a form of resistance to disinformation, as well as several cool projects on this front run by a number of researchers including Andy, at this site. This talk will be recorded and posted for paid subscribers tomorrow for anyone who can’t attend in person.
