#60 - Influencers, Experts, and Bad Sleep Advice: Would I Lie To You?
Manage episode 374191166 series 3365942
Information and advice about better sleep comes from more individuals and sources than can be counted. In our current era of "fake news," it can be difficult to determine is the sleep advice or science behind what you are seeing or reading is legitimate. In this episode we will:
- Differentiate between misinformation, disinformation, and bullshit
- Look at examples of each and work towards understanding their motivations and how they can be spotted and corrected
- Explore the consequences of the spread of bad/harmful information, and how current media factors can accelerate the dissemination of false information
- List the characteristics of information that spreads quickly
- Apply epidemiological tools to social media and the spread of bad information
- Evaluate the factors that lend themselves to the spread of bad medical information
- Consider how intuition and deliberation affect our ability for comprehensive reasoning and detection of bad information
- Review remedies to help improve the situation and reduce the spread of incorrect medical information
