In 2012 I did a talk at @tedxamsterdam The title was ‘everything is permitted’ but it was basically about the origin and the spreading of fake news and how I and my work are affected by this. At that time (only 6 yrs ago!) people saw my story as an exception, but today we all know that the word ‘exception’ should be replaced by ‘beginning’. Next week @tedxamsterdam celebrates her #bigX, a ten year anniversary, and I am very proud to announce that I will be interviewed during the event, twice! and I am featured in a wonderful film made by @rosaklamer.
I will again speak about a situation in which ‘the news’ can not be trusted. But this time the cause is not anger, but fear. The conclusion, however, is still the same. - oh yes, I wrote books on both cases! One is called Dearest TINKEBELL, and the other one is called Dangers of fear - hypochondria in Fukushima (in Dutch: Het gevaar van angst - hypochonderen in Fukushima)
oh and my talk can be found on youtube.
