In early May 2020, Sebastian Schick spoke to almost 200 international leaders from the Christian sector as part of our Leadership Talks.
In the first months of the pandemic, it was hard to tell what was untrue, half-true or truly relevant.
Keynote · How to deal with conspiracy theories regarding COVID-19
Sebastian Schick presented the model of cognitive scientist John Cook (George Mason University): five characteristics of science denial – fake experts, logical fallacies, impossible expectations, cherry-picking and conspiracy theories – help make yourself and others “storm-proof”.
Takeaway: If you know the patterns of disinformation, you can respond to them calmly.
Thank you to all participants for the open discussion. The WEGVISOR® Leadership Foundation supports conferences and churches like this because leadership in church and society needs the same principles.
