Join us for an insightful conversation with Dr. Yossi David, a leading researcher in social biases, migration trauma, and media influence. We delve into how leaving insular communities mirrors migration challenges, the impact of fiction and AI on perception, and the importance of trust and skepticism in society today.

Key topics discussed:
-The psychological challenges faced by individuals leaving ultra-Orthodox communities, compared to immigration trauma
-Language barriers and cultural transitions when integrating into secular society
-The influence of fiction, media, and AI technologies on shaping perceptions and biases
-Trust in science versus authority and the role of scientific methodology in building credibility
-The importance of a society that balances trust and skepticism for healthy self-correction
-Strategies for raising awareness about fiction, misinformation, and fake content
-Personal experiences of transition, identity, and resilience amid societal change
-The role of education in developing critical thinking from a young age
-The significance of physical challenges and community support in personal transformation
