Fake news. Alternative facts. Conspiracy theories. Misinformation is one of the defining problems of our age, and despite what we may think, we are all susceptible. So how and why does misinformation spread? And, more importantly, what can we do about it? Sander van der Linden, a Cambridge University professor and leading expert, takes us through the psychology of conspiratorial thinking and equips us with the tools needed to help stop the spread of misinformation once and for all.

Eleştirmen yorumları

‘Foolproof proves an overview that is authoritative, comprehensive and chatty. You won’t find a better survey of what is now a vast interdisciplinary landscape and that alone is a great service’ Tim Harford
‘An insightful and forensic examination of why our brains entertain disinformation – and the remedies that can protect us all from its real-world harm. For everyone who messages me asking how they can speak to someone who has fallen victim to online conspiracies – this is the book for you!’ Marianna Spring
‘Powerfully analyses why everyone is susceptible, how falsehoods spread, and how to “prebunk” misinformation and “inoculate” ourselves and others against it’ Nature
‘A fascinating, in-depth investigation into the complex landscape of misinformation from someone who has spent his career trying to combat fake news. You will never look at your social media feeds in the same way again’ Angela Saini, author of The Patriarchs
‘This brilliant book vividly illuminates the challenges of countering misinformation, showing how human psychology can make us vulnerable to manipulation and conspiracy theories. Van der Linden’s analysis would be utterly depressing, were he not to provide a set of powerful evidence-based 'antigens' designed to protect us from false claims. They have never been more needed’ Professor David Spiegelhalter
… Readers will find an accessible crash course on how human psychology functions in processing information and assessing its truthfulness. Van der Linden is highly skilled at condensing the most relevant knowledge into a highly coherent text’ The Skeptic
‘Sander van der Linden is one of the world’s leading experts on combating misinformation, and Foolproof is the ultimate handbook for navigating – and fighting back against – the tsunami that threatens to drown us in bullshit’ Jay Van Bavel, author of The Power of Us

What I find difficult to understand is why Mr Van Der Linden is so keen to keep us from normal debate - why can’t we hear evidence from scientists, doctors, and others with experience and then make up our own minds? I don’t know that the internet poses more danger than old wives tales, tittle tattle, and rumour that humans have always been surrounded by, they evaluated, chose their own truth, and society flourished. It doesn’t matter whether what appears is true or false, or whether it is just a different opinion. The fear that is being generated by this type of brainwashing against misinformation and disinformation is in itself very concerning. Let’s vote for free speech, free expression, human rights, and good old human common sense. If your argument is stronger it will win out. I don’t think this will cause any unusual danger to others. For example, information has been strongly controlled since the advent of fact checkers and media literacy training. Yet now we have MORE war MORE excess deaths MORE damaging laws that restrict our rights and freedoms. The problem is that those with wealth and power pay the likes of Mr Van Der Linden to dream up his brainwashing ideas.

How to brainwash.

Fascinating listen, before listening I thought the misinformation wave had already drowned any hope of been beaten.
Maybe just maybe little by little we can inoculate ourselves and others against this highly contagious virus.
