When having coffee with your family, you are offered energized
water. On Twitter you discuss with vaccination opponents. The
WhatsApp kitagroup discusses zodiac signs, the pharmacy sells you
globules, the neighbor proselytizes for her guru, and the news is
once again about demonstrations by right-wing extremists.
Everywhere you encounter conspiracy myths, superstition,
esotericism, pseudoscience and Co. and you want to respond to them
- while remaining as factual as possible, clarify your position,
provide facts, but also not unnecessarily provoke or overload. In
addition, you do not want to hurt your counterpart, but to
encourage him to rethink. But how do you do that? If you are asking
yourself this question, read "Fact and Prejudice". Understand why
we are driven by emotions and most information bounces off us. Read
experiences and tips from interviews with professional (science)
communicators. Then follow different people through their own
rethinking processes: What convinces an alternative medicine
practitioner to leave non-evidence-based medicine behind? What was
the deciding factor for a former vaccination opponent to have her
children vaccinated after all? What helps members of appropriative
organizations to get out? What moves a celebrated medium to break
away from esotericism? This book is for anyone who worries about or
doesn't know how to communicate with people who have irrational
worldviews - whether it's with family, friends, anonymously on the
Internet, or at work. The authors give concrete tips on discussions
and situations and also help to decide when it is important to
engage and when it is better to withdraw.
