Why should we care about having true beliefs? And why do demonstrably false beliefs persist and spread despite bad, even fatal, consequences for the people who hold them? In this video, philosopher of science Cailin O'Connor (UC Irvine) gives a public lecture on Sept. 19, 2019, at the Cowles Auditorium at the University of Minnesota on her new book (with James Weatherall), "The Misinformation Age" (Yale UP, 2019), in which she argues that social factors, rather than individual psychology, are what’s essential to understanding the spread and persistence of false beliefs. What you believe depends on who you know.
