Many of us are still reeling at the loss of friends, co workers, family members to what we now understand be intentional disinformation campaigns. Over the past two years, have you observed this in any people in your social or professional circle? And can you offer any thoughts about way that civil society can overcome the pandemic of disinformation? Well, it's a crucially important question, and my thoughts are not very strong on this. We're all susceptible to disinformation depending on our pre existing prejudices. So i don't like to be very definitive about how to combat these things.
Welcome to the April 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
