Critical Thinking: Great Lies That Seem True

Why Social Networks Work and How They Affect Us

From philosophy and psychology, Vico analyzes the mechanisms behind the success of social media: what hooks us, why do they polarize us, how do they influence our thinking? An essential keynote to understand the digital revolution and its impact on our lives.
