Author: José Antonio Marina.
How to develop cognitive defenses against manipulation, errors and misinformation.
If we are so intelligent, why do we fall for so many stupid things and atrocities? Why do we let ourselves be manipulated by false beliefs, conspiracy theories and prejudices? José Antonio Marina warns of an invisible but real danger: mental viruses, ideas that infect and corrupt our intelligence, distort our memory, bias our judgment and make us vulnerable to political, economic and ideological manipulation.
After years of research, Marina offers a true vaccine against folly, designed to strengthen critical thinking, deactivate topics we accept as dogmas and understand how our brain, an unfinished work of evolution, leads us to make systematic mistakes. With his clear and provocative style, the author invites us to recognize the cognitive traps that surround us and to protect ourselves against misinformation, credulity and manipulation. A must-read for those seeking clarity in times of confusion.
