This evening is the first of three Intelligence Squared x Sage & Jester Critical Conversation events hosted by Sophia Smith Galer!
‘Misinformation isn’t just a buzzword for daytime TV debates; it’s a weapon with real power that can distort reality, spread confusion and erode trust in democracy. From deepfake videos twisting elections to bot armies flooding social media with lies, the manipulation of truth is everywhere.
Intelligence Squared and Sage & Jester invite you to this series of interactive events that bring you into the conversation with journalist Sophia Smith Galer. Join us across three events at the Pleasance Theatre, London where we’ll help you cut through the noise, build resilience and connect with community. Are you ready for change?’
Tonight, Sophia is in conversation with Rachel Parris to discuss ‘Tricks, Trolls and Lols: Comedy’s Crash Course in Spotting Lies’.
If you can’t make this evening, go see Sophia in conversation with Dr Julia Ebner on the 19th May for ‘Truth Hurts: From Conflict to Connection’ or on the 20th May for ‘How to Cure Your Alorithm’ with Jamie Bartlett.
