Knowledge adoption is related to with whom we interact -> Sociology takes a leading role when tackling disinfo
@SamHarrisOrg@ElizKolbert -
Therefore, the key question is: who are the weak ties we can trust?
@SamHarrisOrg@ElizKolbert -
Hard to evaluate trust amongst weak ties, considering they are weak. Usefulness might be easier.
-
True! However, how to measure usefulness if one feels uncomfortable when new info is provided

-
usefulness can be measured using computers. Analyzing texts, emotions etc.
-
Sure. If e.g. text mining would point out that new info has actually affected ones attitudes
-
more than the attitude, I would look for the Usefulness of that information.

-
i.e. If that information helped in business leads, partnerships, revenue generation, collaboration etc

Would an additional course on logic, bias and discourse in high schools make any difference? Curious.
-
would also love to see any research on people who are more willing to change their beliefs.

Maybe you should stop trying to influence people. Present your data and let it speak for itself.
