Spreading skepticism isn’t just about debunking false claims, it’s about empowering individuals to reclaim control over their lives. In this talk, Jon Michael will explore why promoting skepticism is essential, not just to win people over to “our team”, but for personal autonomy and emotional wellbeing. Join us to get a view inside the mind of a believer, discover why it’s vital to teach others critical thinking, and how we can engage with others using both empathy and reason.
