Many of us may have friends and family who have fallen down the information rabbit holes of intense partisanship, conspiracy theories or deeper holes of extremism.
With both sides of the political aisle falling victim to these rabbit holes, now is as good of a time as any to help our friends and family.
Our undergraduate and graduate student-led research project, conducted through ASU's Humanities Lab, dived into these rabbit holes to help find the steps to take to address this in your interpersonal life.
Maybe your wild uncle keeps ruining the holidays by bringing up fringe topics. Maybe it's a coworker who doesn't know what else to talk about other than what pops up on their Instagram feed.
Sometimes it's our parents, who became lonely when we left the nest, so they started watching extreme ideological television, listening to AM radio hosts on the media fringes or following Facebook pages that spread information with little to no concrete evidence.
