Very important topic has discussed in above podcast because now a days the misuse of information is very common. Specially when any info come from social media. Repetition of the info could be enforce you to accept it as true. We should aware from the fake news.

From the cognitive biases mentioned in this episode, I am vulnerable to illusory truth effect and confirmation bias, that I tend to believe based on my gut feeling without investigating the facts. Yes, indeed the reason behind this is because my brain is lazy sometimes, I avoid thinking about the complex situation, and rather go with the things that are easy to swallow. Thanks for sharing this episode, I learned that in every situation we are in, we need to gather and go through the decision-making processes to protect ourselves from misinformation.

Such an amazing content. Now I can protect myself from misinformation by considering alternative interpretations, being suspicious of repetition. From now onwards I will think twice before taking any decision on a basis of a specific information. Nice techniques discussed in this episode is that how we will think & understand about the specific information. Thanks for sharing this timely content.

Great episode. One of the most effective strategies is to build up a habit of automatically considering alternative possibilities to any claim you hear, especially claims that feel comfortable to you. But since our lazy brain’s default setting is to avoid questioning claims, which required hard thinking, it really helps to develop a mental practice of going against this default. I took the Pro-truth pledge and am so happy I did. Thanks for the tip! Every word counts here.

It's a great audio clip on defending ourselves from misinformation. Nowadays misinformation is surrounded everywhere. So that people can be manipulated easily. We all should be careful before making decisions on the basis of particular information. According to Dr. Gleb, we should take a pro-truth pledge to protect ourselves from misinformation. Thanks, Dr. Gleb for sharing this timely content.
