🎙️ This week on The Disinfo Detox, host Nolan Higdon sits down with Yotam Ophir, author of Misinformation and Society, to dig into the root causes of misinformation—why we fall for it, how it spreads, and what we can actually do about it.
Together, they unpack:
👉 How human bias fuels the spread of false information
👉 Why misinformation thrives in our current media and political systems
👉 The limits of fact-checking and quick fixes
👉 What strategies really work to build a more informed and resilient public
This episode is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand not just the symptoms of misinformation, but the deeper causes—and how we can fight back.
