SUMMARY:The psychology of propaganda: why smart people sometimes believe cr
 azy things
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever met someone with a particular political belief\, 
 conspiracy theory\, or affiliation with a public movement and wondered: 
 “How can you (or anyone\, for that matter) possibly believe that?” Yet
  time and again\, we see people come to support ideas\, leaders\, and acti
 ons we find shocking or incomprehensible.\n\nIn this talk\, we will explor
 e why this happens. We will examine the psychological mechanisms that make
  propaganda effective\, the cognitive shortcuts and biases it exploits\, a
 nd how seemingly contradictory ideas can coexist in the same mind. While w
 e may not have all the answers\, understanding these mechanisms may be one
  of the most important tools we have for resisting propaganda and extremis
 m.
