Main Argument - The core argument is that society is becoming increasingly desensitized to disinformation, leading to a dangerous indifference that erodes ethical standards and harms society [2][5][6][10] - The speaker advocates for proactive measures, specifically "weird checking," to combat disinformation by challenging the social norm of accepting lies [28][30] Problem Definition - Disinformation, defined as intentionally deceptive false information, is distinct from misinformation, which is unintentional [11][13] - The speaker highlights the phenomenon of "deception fatigue," where repeated exposure to dishonesty diminishes emotional and moral responses [20] - Disinformation has significant real-world consequences, including contributing to preventable deaths (e g, 330,000+ deaths during the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa), fueling distrust in election results, and costing the global economy an estimated $78 billion USD annually [8][9] Proposed Solution - "Weird checking" is introduced as a method to counteract disinformation by questioning the normality of spreading fake news, thereby influencing social norms [28][29] - Individuals are encouraged to actively resist disinformation by calling out those who spread it, reinforcing the idea that such behavior is socially unacceptable [30][31] Social Norms and Behavior - Social norms significantly influence human behavior, and the normalization of dishonesty creates a dangerous feedback loop [23][26] - The speaker draws a parallel to the shift in social norms around smoking, suggesting that similar changes are possible with disinformation [24][25] Call to Action - The speaker urges individuals to resist passivity and actively condemn dishonesty to preserve their own moral compass and protect society from the harmful effects of disinformation [32][33][35]

A big success which was a disaster in disguise. Have you ever been deceived by a Ureka moment that turned out to be a nightm ...

Just by the show of hands, do you believe that no one is really disadvantaged. No one is disadvantaged. Some people are disadvantaged.H interesting. But you see, if no one is truly disadvantaged like the topic says, how do we explain poverty. And what about people that were born with impaired hearing.And this is speaking to those that said that no one is really disadvantaged. People with impaired sight, malformed limbs. How can someone thrive when life actually seems unfair.Is that not a disadvantage and in ...

We live in a world overflowing with health advice. One headline says eggs are bad for your cholesterol.

It's never been harder to understand what works for you.And I know that world pretty well. I've spent years in health as a sports physotherapist as an exathlete and as a current founder of a health tech company. And even I sometimes still wonder what actually works for ...

Personal, mi a plăcut foarte mult discursul domnului doctor Bogdan. M a m a și intimidat, așa că m a ajutat mult Oliver să mă relaxez pentru actul meu și apreciez această latură umană chiar și atunci când ne a sunat telefonul. Eu personal m am bucurat.Mă bucur de fiecare dată când cineva greșește pentru că înseamnă că am și eu voie să greșesc și suntem oameni. Îmi aleg în fiecare zi gândurile, că altfel se adună în mine fără știre și au să mă dărâme. Azi câte puțin, iar mâine dacă sunt obosită vin peste min ...

Am copilărit și am plecat la școală, la oraș. M am întors î ...

Avevo 5 anni quando mi dissero che ero sbagliato. I miei genitori, non con queste parole ovviamente, ma ciò che facevo era sbagliato. Io, corpo maschile, detete, amavo prendermi cura delle bambole. sperimentare le spezie, ma non andava bene. E per correggere le strade deviate che stavo prendendo, i miei genitori mi obbligarono a giocare a cricket, come i miei cugini maschi, affinché diventassi verile. Hanno iniziato puntando il loro dito contro il mio corpicino, poi sono arrivati gli sguardi, i toni, le par ...
