About this listen
In this episode, we're diving headfirst into the meta-humor masterpiece created by Peter McIndoe. We'll explore how this absurdist movement captured the hearts and minds of Gen Z and became a viral phenomenon. But what started as a joke... accidentally became the perfect mirror for our chaotic age of misinformation.
This isn't just about laughing at a funny idea. It's a deep dive into the serious business of disinformation, exploring how a parody can use the exact same tactics as a dangerous, real-life conspiracy. How do we tell the difference between a punchline and a panic in a world saturated with fake news?
Stick with us to the very end to learn about the one genius tactic "Birds Aren't Real" uses that makes it almost indistinguishable from a real conspiracy theory.
It's time to get smarter about the absurdity. Subscribe, share this with your most online friend, and join the conversation about telling the difference between a joke and a dangerous lie.
