Dissecting statements like "jetfuel can't melt steel beams" and others you may have heard and how you could react to them.

CW: Politics, conspiracies and all that goes with it


You may have seen things online that didn't seem quite right but didn't know why, or maybe you were overwhelmed with conspiracy theories during research instead of finding anything sensible.
I will try to outline some basic steps on how to identify why something might seem off and how to go about verifying your hypothesis.
I will talk about misinformation, disinformation, and logical fallacies - how to identify them and how to react, as well as when it's best not to react.

This is not a how-to guide, but a somewhat interactive talk where you are encouraged to think about how you might interact with this type of media in the future.
