Renomovaný sociológ, profesor a autor bestsellerov Dan Ariely prináša svoju doteraz najnaliehavejšiu knihu – strhujúci pohľad na ľudský rozmer krízy dezinformácií –, v ktorej skúma, prečo si inak racionálni ľudia osvojujú hlboko iracionálne presvedčenia. Dezinformácie nás denne zasahujú od sociálnych sietí po najbližšie vzťahy a riešenia často skresľuje straníckosť a subjektívne „pravdy“.V knihe Prečo sa mýlime Ariely tvrdí, že pochopiť príťažlivosť dezinformácií znamená pochopiť psychologickú a sociálnu cestu k mylnému presvedčeniu: k nedôvere voči všeobecne prijímaným faktom, k „alternatívnym pravdám“ a napokon ku konšpiráciám. Dezinformácie oslovujú vrodené sklony naprieč celým politickým spektrom. Na základe rokov výskumu aj osobnej skúsenosti autor analyzuje emocionálne, kognitívne, osobnostné a sociálne faktory, ktoré ženú ľudí dolu pomyselným lievikom mylných presvedčení, a ukazuje, že za určitých okolností sa to môže stať komukoľvek.Autor však ponúka aj nádej. Hoci umelá inteligencia dokáže vo veľkom generovať presvedčivé klamstvá, poznanie síl, ktoré živia mylné presvedčenia, zvyšuje odolnosť jednotlivcov i spoločnosti. Boj s nimi si žiada stratégiu založenú skôr na empatii než na konflikte. Keď pochopíme, že ide predovšetkým o ľudský problém, môžeme sa stať súčasťou riešenia.
