Episode notes

The chapter introduces the concept of the conspiracy test, where listeners can explore conspiracy theories using critical thinking. The chapter discusses the importance of holding people with power accountable and recognizing the existence of conspiracies. It also emphasizes the power of collaborative reasoning and the potential for positive change through group reasoning.

In this episode Jesse Richardson tells us all about ConspiracyTest.org, a new project designed to be a weird, fun, and cleverly educational way to explore just how skeptical you are (and could be) about a variety of conspiracy theories. The whole thing is designed to be very sharable and very viral, and it's launching right before Thanksgiving 2023 so that you can share it with your conspiracy-theory-entertaining friends and family over the holidays, in person or over social media (but you should definitely try it out on yourself first).
