He explains that the problem is not only in the fakes themselves but also in how the human brain works: people tend to remember information that confirms their views and forget refutations, while social networks create “bubbles” isolating people from opposing opinions. The lecture shows that susceptibility to fakes is linked to innate psychological traits and political beliefs, and fighting misinformation requires understanding these mechanisms, not just providing facts.
