A Field Guide to Spotting Misinformation - Livestream

For most of human history, survival depended on two things: group loyalty and split-second decisions. Today, those same ancient instincts are plugged into a network of billions of strangers and an endless stream of content.

She’ll explore how our ancient hardware makes us vulnerable and provides the practical tools we need to navigate the digital age without getting played.
