Description

This lecture delves into the world of conspiracy theories, exploring how algorithms can manipulate beliefs and the psychological, sociological, and anthropological aspects behind the adoption of such theories. It also examines the rise of extreme right-wing conspiracy theories like QAnon in the USA, the structure of conspiracy narratives, and the secularization of religious myths. The instructor discusses the challenges of combating conspiracy beliefs, the impact of the internet on their spread, and the loss of trust in institutions. Moreover, it analyzes the mechanisms of disengagement from conspiracy beliefs and the strategies for debunking them effectively.
