Two Truths and a Western Narrative — Game Show

Open on conference website
Description
Most people think they have a “global” worldview. Then you ask basic questions about politics, culture, economics, media ecosystems, or even geography outside Europe and North America and things fall apart fast.
This session is a live quiz show with the audience. You answer anonymously on your phone. I reveal the correct answers immediately, then give a tight 20 to 30 seconds of context: what the answer is, why so many people guess wrong, and what that says about how information travels. No academic lecture and no guilt trip.
We’ll end with a practical mini-toolkit: a few rules that help you build a better information setup in 10 minutes, even if you’re busy and allergic to doomscrolling.
