<p>What if the biggest threat we’re facing right now… isn’t physical, but mental?</p><p>In this episode, I sat down with cyber intelligence analyst Travis Hawley to talk about something called cognitive warfare—and once you understand it, you won’t be able to unsee it.</p><p>We get into how narratives are shaped online, how bots and fake accounts actually work, and why even real information is now being dismissed as fake if it doesn’t fit someone’s worldview.</p><p>It’s a conversation about the internet, yes—but also about human nature. Why we want to be right. Why we cling to our beliefs. And why doing the work to think critically has never been more important.</p><p>We talk:</p><p>+ How information is used to shape public opinion in real time</p><p>+ The difference between misinformation and disinformation (and why intent matters)</p><p>+ What’s actually happening behind the scenes on social media.</p><p>Travis also explains how to spot fake accounts, bots, and AI-generated content, and we dig into why people reject truth—even when it’s right in front of them.</p><p>If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to figure out what’s real, this episode is for you.</p>
