Why do so many well-meaning, intelligent people get sucked down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories? The answer lies in our mind’s own predispositions and shortcuts to forming our identity and sense of reality, and the social media landscape that takes advantage of them.

This event is organized by the Library and the Democracy Commitment.
