Maksimal'nyy repost: Kak socseti zastavlyayut nas verit' feykovym novostyam
Borislav Kozlovskiy
Conspiracy theories, rumors and fake news are what we deal with every day. Lies are spread by our friends, relatives and even ourselves. Neither education nor the ability to reason logically protect against this, but only enhance the effect. Science journalist Borislav Kozlovsky tried to figure out what genes, the brain and big data can say about all this. Where is our receptivity to political propaganda hardwired in our DNA? How are we affected by "Facebook algorithms" and experiments of dating sites on their users? And why can't rational arguments do anything about the fallacies we once believed with all our hearts?
