How to see past your own perspective and find truth | Michael Patrick Lynch | TED Talk

In his TED Talk on social media, journalism and the age of fake news, philosopher Michael Patrick Lynch breaks down “How to see past your own perspective and find truth.” Lynch says that the more we watch and read online, the harder it becomes to tell the difference between what’s real and what’s fake. Lynch calls on all of us to take active steps to change our perception, escape the political echo-chambers and algorithms we have become entrenched in, and participate in the common reality that underpins everyday life.
