We live in the information age, but it's often difficult figuring out what to trust. That's why the Mental Immunity Project and other organizations like @newslit.org exist. One of the most important ways to get better at navigating the sea of information is by learning #NewsLiteracy skills.

To some people, the concept of mental immunity makes them uncomfortable. The analogies we use make people think about vaccine mandates and top-down control of information. The fact of the matter is this: improving your mental immunity is your own choice, we're just working to help you do so.

Too often, we see differences in perspectives as reasons to get in conflict with others. We get angry and make ad hominen attacks, criticisms that are directed against the person rather than the position they're taking. Instead, approach the disagreement with kindness and curiosity.

We at The Mental Immunity Project are big supporters of lateral reading. Lateral reading is a critical thinking skill that involves evaluating the credibility of a source by comparing it with other sources. This allows you to verify evidence, contextualize information, and find potential weaknesses.
