Is an Open Constituency Just Government?

My guest this week is M R. X. Dentith (@conspiracism), a philosophy professor at BNUZH’s Center for international philosophy, with a focus on conspiracy theories, secrecy, and fake news. They’re also cohost of the podcaster’s guid to the conspiracy and have a recent paper out in Synthese open access called Suspicious conspiracy theories. We discuss debates around the definition of "conspiracy theory" and the challenges we face trying to quantify and address the growth of conspiracism in the modern world.
