"Uma mentira pode dar a volta ao mundo no mesmo tempo que a verdade leva para calçar seus sapatos." Mark Twain. Aos olhos dos seus eleitores, as deficiências dos líderes populistas se transformam em qualidades, sua inexperiência demonstra que não pertencem ao círculo da "velha política", e sua incompetência é uma garantia da sua autenticidade. As tensões que causam em nível internacional são vistas como mostras de sua independência, e as fake News, marca inequívoca de sua propaganda, evidenciam sua liberdade de pensamento.

I was a good student, but I really was turned off by what they taught in science, specifically regarding particles, waves, gravity, magnetism, and gamma rays. Since I'm a huge Hulk fan, it was interesting that the Hulk turned into the Hulk because he got exposed to gamma rays. I had a natural sense that it was wrong, and it felt very wrong buying into it, so I just shut down on the subject of science.

Con l'avvento dei social media è scomparso il solco che divideva mondo reale e mondo virtuale, consentendoci di identificarli abbastanza nettamente.

In today’s chaotic world, where the multiplication of information sources creates competing narratives, credibility is the key to winning the war of ideas.

You have heard that the human attention span has fallen below a goldfish's. It is one of the most quoted statistics of the digital age, repeated in TED talks and tenth-grade classrooms, in newspaper trend pieces and the pitch decks of companies selling a cure for the affliction they just named. The claim has a single defect its champions rarely raise. There was never a study. There was never a goldfish. The number was invented, and a century took it as a verdict on itself. The Eighteen-Minute Lie is the biography of that lie.

The Mound Builder Myth is the first book to chronicle the attempt to recast the Native American burial mounds as the work of a lost white race of “true” native Americans. Thomas Jefferson’s pioneering archaeology concluded that the earthen mounds were the work of Native Americans. In the 1894 report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, Cyrus Thomas concurred, drawing on two decades of research. But in the century in between, the lie took hold, with presidents Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, and Abraham Lincoln adding their approval.

Long before the current preoccupation with "fake news", American newspapers routinely ran stories that were not quite, strictly speaking, true. Today, a firm boundary between fact and fakery is a hallmark of journalistic practice, yet for many readers and publishers across more than three centuries, this distinction has seemed slippery or even irrelevant. 

Ammettiamolo: la realtà se ne infischia di ciò in cui crediamo. Tuttavia, le nostre convinzioni trasformano il modo in cui percepiamo il mondo. Ma dove nascono e come si diffondono le credenze? Che cosa ci porta a sostenere le idee più insolite o totalmente assurde, a scambiare per prove inossidabili semplici suggestioni, illusioni o, al massimo, ideologie e atti di fede? Perché finiamo per contraddire anche l’evidenza dei fatti? E chi coltiva le convinzioni più estreme è solo un pazzo o piuttosto una vittima della manipolazione dei social?
