We rely increasingly on technology to remember, navigate, search and even help us think. But what happens when the tools we trust also influence the information we see and the conclusions we reach? Looking at the curious logic of conspiracy thinking, selective evidence and our own certainty, this episode explores the value of being sceptical without becoming closed-minded. Almost any evidence can be reframed to support what we think we believe. What seems true at first could prove to be a conspiracy theory. Conversely, something entirely plausible could turn out to be misleading. Perhaps the best way to defend ourselves is to police our own opinions by asking ourselves one important question.
No answers, just new questions about what we think we know and what we take for granted.
