“If you would be a real seeker of truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.” - Rene Descartes
It has landed! It is finally here!
The weapon you need to cross the information divide and discern the truth is now within your grasp.
But before you grab one, have a listen to today’s episode as I interview journalist, multi-awarded film director, moderator, advisor, and researcher, Lindley Gooden. He is also the founder and Cheerleader-in-Chief of Greenscreen.
Lindley has recently published the very informative and thought-provoking book entitled ‘The Future of Truth (And How to Get There).’ This is a much-needed piece in our technology-driven world, where everyone wants to get our attention.
It is only fitting for him to author this book as he has worked on both sides of the information divide for more than 30 years and has interviewed more than 50,000 people engaged in world transformation. He has also served as postgraduate journalism lecturer at UK’s prestigious universities.
In this podcast, he will delve into the highlights of his book for you to learn more about misinformation, disinformation, why we easily fall for them, and how we can equip ourselves so as not to be fooled and manipulated by the deep fakes, the lies as well as the conspiracies.
Do not be part of the divide that leads to chaos.
Arm yourself with the right tools and information. Choose from the armoury of links below.
Highlights:
- Sharing stories is our way of learning and surviving.
- We are 60-70% more likely to share false information that is why we need to know where our information is coming from.
- The two types of false information are misinformation or things we share accidentally and disinformation which is the intentional manipulation of information.
- We need to stop, step back, sidestep, and allow a little bit of disbelief to get to the truth.
- There are technical tells that you can see and in feel with deep fakes.
Important stories:
- 1:25 Why Lindley Gooden authored the book and what he wants people to get from it.
- 6:20 How Lindley and I met.
- 15:14 Misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracies.
- 21:10 How to find a safe middle ground amidst a dangerous territory.
- 31:34 The various sources of information and technological platforms we use.
- 47:10 Expected direct results of the book years after.
