The talk will examine the problem of testimony and its role in shaping our beliefs. It will illustrate the ubiquity of testimony and then draw on work with computational models, in particular, agent-based models to draw out the full scale of the cognitive challenge posed by testimonial evidence. The talk will finish by drawing out some of the consequences of this for the multiple crises affecting our information environments.
