Michael Hayden: Not all conspiracy theories are equal, which ones have evidence or not. He says if Wicke leaks showed millions of classified documents leaked to the public, there would be evidence for 9-11 as an inside job. "You don't have to actually melt steel all the way," he says; you only have to weaken it. The objective of American is as pedigree a place as you'd ever find the writings of science, argues Hayden.
Why do rational people believe irrational things? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice break down media literacy, the psychology behind conspiracy theories, and how to combat our cognitive biases with author and science historian, Michael Shermer.
