I Weigh - Disinformation & Conspiracy Theories with Danny Wallace

I Weigh - Disinformation & Conspiracy Theories with Danny Wallace

Jameela welcomes comedian and author Danny Wallace (Yes Man) for a look down the rabbit hole of disinformation and its slippery slope into conspiracy theories. Danny talks through his personal experience researching his latest book (Somebody Told Me), highlighting what stages of life we are most open to conspiracies and the tribalist online communities that perpetuate them. You’ll hear Danny recount his (often hilarious) investigation into the barrage of digital AI, ChatGPT, and online manipulation while he identified bots & fake accounts, but you’ll also learn some useful ways to talk with loved ones to overcome the disinformation obsession.


You'll find more about Danny's book 'Somebody Told Me: One Man’s Unexpected Journey Down the Rabbit Hole of Lies, Trolls and Conspiracies' here: https://lnk.to/SomebodyToldMeBook
