THREAD: Ok, I’ve been batting around an idea for combating disinformation/division based on my field of social/affective neuroscience. Rather than leave it scattered in notes for my kids to spill milk on, @AshaRangappa_’s #SpeakToStrangers thread seems like a sign so here goes:
My hope is that what follows may be useful in convincing us to look each other in the eye and take up Asha’s #SpeakToStrangers challenge. #SpeakToStrangers is definitely hokey, but it’s “walk the mall” hokey; I think it will work as long as we get the heart rate up a few beats.
As a neuroscientist, I think of #SpeakToStrangers as a workout for the brain functions that we need to beat disinformation. Why might face-to-face social interactions work out these important brain functions?
