Designed to make you much better at spotting misinformation, scams, propaganda, and weak claims in one week.
Spend 20–30 minutes/day.
Day 1: Learn the Golden Rule — Pause Before Believing
Goal:
Break the instinct to instantly accept or share.
Practice:
Take 10 headlines/posts today and ask:
Who is making the claim?
What evidence is shown?
What emotion is it trying to trigger?
What would disprove it?
Skill gained:
You stop reacting emotionally.
Day 2: Master Lateral Reading
Goal:
Learn how professionals verify sources.
Practice:
Find 5 websites or social media claims.
Instead of reading deeply, immediately open new tabs and search:
“[site name] credibility”
“[person name] controversy”
“Who owns [website]”
Skill gained:
You stop trusting appearances.
Day 3: Reverse Image Search
Goal:
Catch fake or recycled images.
Practice:
Use:
Google Images
TinEye
Yandex Images
Take 5 viral images and check:
Is it old?
From another country?
Cropped misleadingly?
AI-generated?
Skill gained:
Huge boost vs misinformation.
Day 4: Numbers and Statistics Defense
Goal:
Spot fake stats.
Practice:
Take 5 numerical claims online.
Ask:
Compared to what?
Source?
Sample size?
Absolute number or percentage trick?
Correlation vs causation?
Example:
“Crime up 200%” may mean 1 to 3 incidents.
Skill gained:
You become resistant to manipulation by numbers.
Day 5: Detect Propaganda Tactics
Goal:
Recognize persuasion tricks.
Practice:
Find 10 posts and label tactics:
Fear
Outrage
Tribalism (“us vs them”)
False dilemma
Cherry-picking
Hero/villain narratives
Urgency

You start seeing psychological engineering.
Day 6: Verify Breaking News Fast
Goal:
Handle fast-moving stories.
Practice:
Pick a trending story.
Check:
Reuters/AP/BBC reporting?
Multiple independent sources?
Named witnesses or only anonymous posts?
Video/image verified?
What is still unknown?
Skill gained:
You avoid being fooled during chaos.
Day 7: Full BS Detection Drill
Goal:
Combine all skills.
Practice:
Pick 10 random posts. Score each 1–10 trustworthiness.
Check:
Source quality
Evidence quality
Emotional manipulation
Missing context
Confirmed elsewhere
Incentive to lie
Then review whether your judgment was right.
Skill gained:
Real-world fact-checking instinct.
Permanent Habits After 7 Days
Before believing, ask:
How do they know?
How do I know they know?
Who benefits if I believe this?
What evidence would change my mind?
Red Flags That Usually Mean BS
ALL CAPS outrage
“They don’t want you to know…”
No source links
Screenshot of text only
Perfectly confirms your bias
Extreme certainty on complex issue
Anonymous insider claims
Emotional urgency to share now
If You Do This Seriously for 7 Days:
You’ll become better than most internet users at spotting:
Fake news
Scams
Manipulated stats
Misleading politics
Conspiracy bait
Rage-click content
Fake experts
I sincerely hope MANY of you will look into these skills, and learn them as best you can.
Not unlike the statements behind MANY prior protests and scandals, like “Trust NO one”, or “Find, then Verify”, or “Trust ONLY your own eyes”, these are tools and processes to help YOU find the truth in any kernel of information, and to trace down WHO said what, and when….
Good luck to you all!

Warning
Almost all the messages that arrive here are garbage! Resist the urge to click on any unexpected or questionable links.
It may happen that e-mail will claim to come from liamon.com, especially from some administrative role or process. These are certainly garbage. There are no accounts to expire. There are no passwords to leak. There aren't administrators sending messages to liamon.com addresses. These are certainly phishing attempts.
Absolutely ignore those links!
