Episode 16 | Studies & Signals: Insights into the Conspiracy Mindset - Because Reasons 4
Guest: John Poston, Theatrical Artist & Writer
We talk about the origins of some clichés about conspiracy folks, as well as some actual scientific studies about the mindset. We also deftly use Star Trek as a metaphor for the brain. And some questionnaires you can take at home to find out just how conspiracy-minded you are yourself. A lot of what you think you know about conspiracy theorists is probably wrong. But some of it is right.
