Navigating the Information Age | Rand Spiro, Bobby Seagull, Lucy Crompton-Reid

Is the information age helping us — or overwhelming us? With an unprecedented flood of information at our fingertips, navigating truth from misinformation has become one of the defining challenges of our time. From Brexit to conspiracy theories, from algorithmic echo chambers to the crisis of trust in experts — how do we make sense of it all? In this compelling panel discussion from The Polymath Festival, three brilliant minds tackle the question head-on: 🎤 Lucy Crompton Reid — CEO of Wikimedia UK, leading the charge against misinformation through open knowledge and digital literacy 🎤 Bobby Seagull — Mathematician, educator, and BBC presenter who went from Saturday library visits to University Challenge fame — sharing how curiosity-driven learning builds cognitive resilience 🎤 Prof. Rand Spiro — The "godfather of cognitive flexibility" from Michigan State University, explaining why schools must evolve beyond rote learning for a complex, rapidly changing world 🎙️ Moderated by Paul Gladstone Reid — Composer, social entrepreneur, and cultural activist KEY INSIGHTS FROM THIS CONVERSATION: → Why 50% of UK adults have the numeracy skills of an 11-year-old — and what that means for navigating data-driven information → The difference between being a consumer vs. producer of knowledge → Why cognitive flexibility — not memorization — is the skill of the 21st century → How AI and automation are forcing schools to finally prioritize creativity over rote learning → The tension between "there IS a right answer" (get vaccinated) and "it depends" (complex life decisions) → Why Wikipedia, despite its power, still perpetuates Western bias — and what's being done about it 📚 WANT TO GO DEEPER?
