There's no real large scale way to deradicalize people ouof conspiracy theories, because each person gets something a out ofye. If 20% of the population believe bigfoot was real, that doesn't imply any like action that you have to take. The vast majority who believe in these unevidenced notions are probably fine and can live healthy lives. But with cuanon, it's one heck of a lot more likely they'll turn into violent militia members.
Special guest Mike Rothschild tells us how the road to wellness can be an on-ramp to a conspiracy theory. Along the way we debunk oil pulling, explore Instagram aesthetics and bemoan anti-vaxx argumentation tactics . Mike gets the date of the January 6th insurrection wrong and he is sorry.
