Philosopher of language Tomáš Koblížek will show how language can become a tool of hatred and deception, while political scientist Eva Klusová will reveal the mechanisms behind cognitive warfare and emerging security threats. How can you tell when someone is playing unfairly? And why do some messages sound so convincing even when they are not true? Expect a lively discussion full of real-world examples, revealing connections, and moments when you may realise you have been fooled yourself. Come and sharpen your critical thinking – you may need it more than you think. Moderated by Linda Bartošová.
