People need to be taught critical thinking and emotional regulation. We have had social media pressing our emotional buttons for years and it's destroying society
Very interesting talk. I love these debates. On a different note , the academy of ideas works better for me when all speakers on the topic under discussion are linked into one video. It is just my opinion and others may differently.
Agree, dump these, rather use plain language - Misinformation = think you're mistaken / for wrong in error - Disinformation = that doesn't sound right / for deliberately false / lies + Malinformation = don't think thats what's meant / for true info used out of context
To some extent, the wickedness of the other team is baked into the *content* of each team's political ideas. It's not just the style in which they are held. It's very hard to socialize with people who have openly called you nasty names, and are certain they were right to do so.
We already have the words "mistake" (or "error"), "lie", and "half-truth". Fancy new latinate terms like "misinformation", "disinformation", and "malinformation" are unnecessary and confusing.
You're wrong in the definitions you're using. Disinformation is that which is spread on behalf of an agenda without regard to or in wreckless disregard for it's validity. Misinformation is that which is spread ignorantly of its validity. Information is that which the evidence supports best. Those are only fuzzy lines to the extent we can know someone's intent. But even if we can't know which it is, they're still specifically delineated categories, and information per-se can ( almost ) always be determined with some degree of certainty.

Very interesting points that tally with my experience..
Great speaker ❤
I like this lady's fresh take on this.
If you disagree with someone on a subject it doesn’t make you wrong. Governments say it’s ‘mis’ or ‘dis’ when you don’t agree with their narrative

I'm unfamiliar with this woman but I have to say it's nice to hear a nuanced and non-partisan point of view.

In USA politics, rationality is insignificant.
Didn't Shakespeare make a living out of pointing out polarised thought in society?

To treat irrational people as rational is irrational. Feelings ought never to trump truth.
