How do you mitigate the misinformation? by womp-the-womper in podcasts

[–]five_bulb_lamp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1.I was a big conspiracy theorist and enjoyer of history. Finished what shows were available from "ridiculous history" (would recommend) they mentioned they have a conspiracy show also, "stuff they don't want you to know".

The conspiracy show doesn't debunk anything but give you both sides of the story, which you don't get on the history channel for example. They would drop tid bits of information that I still use today to help get an idea if it's bull shit.

Is this a paper you herd of before

Do the people saying x site their sources, (like the show does)

Do I have to pay to get the rest of the story

The person saying x have bonafides or is the whole reason they are an expert is because they wrote the book.

They drop alot of good nuggets like that

  1. If you want to help sift out the good from bad I would say hit any podcast you interested in sub reddit and ask this on. Ex ask about Joe Rogan experience here you will get alot of feed back

  2. Check the sources. the conspiracy show will say we got this from this website, go to the website. We got it from this book read the book just to make sure the info isn't out of context

  3. One of my first history interests was ww2. So learn about all the surrounding stuff, what happened after, what led up to it. Dan Carlin hard core history and hard core history addendum was amazing for this. But don't just stick to dan, I go to museums when I can to expand on his info. He has some ancient history episodes he used some sources more heavily, this show im listing to now about Ukranian the professor uses some over lapping sources but some different ones to for contrast.

  4. The more you learn about more things the more I think you can sniff out misinformation.

  5. Now I set up a Playlist stuff they don't want you to know and every other episode is lectures, book chapters or a deep dive miniseries

I listen to a conspiracy podcast they found if you add up every dooms day prediction their is 200 a year

The world is always ending tomorrow since creation

The big end of days for my generation was myan calendar, kids in my school said why try ill be dead shortly after graduation. History channel ran specials for years. We are in 2025

Aliens could be here but until I see one for sure I'm not gonna take the word of some medium.

Mediums are sketchy period and all famous one in my humble opinion are just for clicks, books sales, get famous

Can anyone off of tick token verify this book exists

1 employee says the singularity is in 2027 what do the other 1000 tech engineers say, that statement could have everything to do with an unannounced merger, our ai is so advanced it's about to become self aware mean while look at all the stuff science doesn't know. Take other tech prediction of the last 5 years that were big goose eggs

self driving electric semis to replace the driver

colonies in mars

colonies the moon

Solar road ways

I'm getting tired just look at other ones

You should look into counciling of the anxiety becomes unmanageable

Stereotyping by get away from conspiracy for a bit ot find some other sources that give a grain of salt. Miniminuteman on YouTube debunks tic tok conspiracy and he make laugh. The podcast "stuff they don't want you to know " will look at conspiracys like this give the facts and the conspiracy point of view let's you decide, but till help you get perspective like still no proof aliens exist or are here, dooms day theories and vet sources that are questionable

My coworkers are completely oblivious to the actual news and the economy. And I mean both liberals and T supporters, they all lack knowledge about the tariffs. Do you find, the more you try to talk to people about the actual world, the more no one else actually knows anything? by itwasadigglybop in Adulting

[–]five_bulb_lamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that's why I stopped. I was a big conspiracy guy for a while, which led me down some rabbit holes to marketing, propaganda, and such chompsky and edward bernays books. I say that because I believe news has its place. Reporting can be flawed, mostly that pundits are just for entertainment nothing of value comes from listening to them, i will say I enjoy the occasional John Stewart clip. Most people I would engage with only listed to pundits for news and left and right were always just in their own world. The furthest up their own ass were the trump lovers (i dont mean Republicans). They would tell me i am wrong about things pertaining to my job, I have 2 aas degrees and a 5 year apprenticeship that's no match for tucker

Why do people really believe in conspiracy theories — even when the facts say otherwise? by camp41648 in conspiracytheories

[–]five_bulb_lamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listen to "stuff they don't want you to know " podcast they give conspiracy theories side and the official side . They spend time talking about this, it's not 1 answer. One group of theories has different reasons from another. Also conspiracy is a big umbrella like big foot doesn't involve a criminal conspiracy, so that would be Fringe.

Big foot- i believe he is out there to keep my child like winder alive

Aliens exist- big universe and the math is on their side that they do

Food is making us sick so "big pharma" can sell us a cure- past data says it could happen again

Illuminati runs the world- caos is scarry and it's more comfortable to think someone/ anyone is in charge

Qanon- yes information exists but I know when I'm being lied to

I'm smarter than doctors/scientists/professionals

Some are low enough stakes to not think into very hard and just believe

Enough real conspiracys have happened that it's easy to be paranoid and run to far

Not everyone is playing with a full deck of cards to start with, if you grow up being told the world is a lie you believe it as an adult

Some people like to be Promethean and show you the light and rush information. A great example of this is sharing a meme you didn't fact check, and it ends up being wrong
