The social dynamics of "alternative facts" why what you believe depends on who you know

"Empowering and thoroughly researched, this book offers useful contemporary analysis and possible solutions to one of the greatest threats to democracy."--Kirkus Reviews

Editors' choice, New York Times Book Review - Recommended reading, Scientific American

Why should we care about having true beliefs? And why do demonstrably false beliefs persist and spread despite bad, even fatal, consequences for the people who hold them?

Philosophers of science Cailin O'Connor and James Weatherall argue that social factors, rather than individual psychology, are what's essential to understanding the spread and persistence of false beliefs. It might seem that there's an obvious reason that true beliefs matter: false beliefs will hurt you. But if that's right, then why is it (apparently) irrelevant to many people whether they believe true things or not?

The Misinformation Age, written for a political era riven by "fake news," "alternative facts," and disputes over the validity of everything from climate change to the size of inauguration crowds, shows convincingly that what you believe depends on who you know. If social forces explain the persistence of false belief, we must understand how those forces work in order to fight misinformation effectively.

So comfortable
Size: 10.5-11.5 Women/9-10 Men, Color: Black
They're so soft to wear! I needed something to wear when it's hot out. These work great and they feel durable! They also clean up easy if i choose to wear them outside. I bought my daughter a pair as well. I think they fit true to the size. I am a size 7-7 1/2 and ordered 7-8.

Size Up!
Size: 9-10 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Chocolate, Size: 9-10 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Chocolate
These are very comfortable! My only issue is that I'm a size 9, so I ordered the womens 9-10 and they are *almost* too small. My heel really wants to come out the back. I know the description says to size up, so you really should lol. They are also narrow, as I have wide feet! I will still wear them, just not if I have to walk too much

No more stubbed toes!
This is a very comfortable slip on shower sandal. The bowl design that makes it protect your toes and feet works like a champ! No more stubed toes !! They wore great to prevent that. And they have great traction in smooth wet surfaces. Even with soap on them. Comfortable fit.. I would buy this product again. Thanks

Size up
Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Black
I had another pair of a different style from the same seller that shrunk when left in the sun. That one wasn't available anymore, so I bought this one in the same size, and they are too small. They are comfy shoes but not true to size
