In a digitally connected world, where misinformation can go viral and cause real harm, responsible citizens need to do their best to develop immunity to misinformation. In the interests of fostering such immunity, the Mental Immunity Project has created this pledge, which outlines key methods for developing mental immunity.
By signing this petition, we pledge to:
Take responsibility for our beliefs
Monitor our motives for believing
Mind how our emotions influence our convictions
Examine our reasons for believing
Explore why we might be wrong
Think in shades of gray
Embrace subtractive learning
Seek mental immune balance
Avoid identifying with our beliefs
Play for team truth
This list of habits is based on our Principles of Mental Immunity (click the link to learn more).
