i'm predicting now, it'll probably continue through the mid terms and maybe even the 20 24 election. Pcal if trump runs again, especially if he gets tha, wins the primary for the republicans. It's more like a mythic belief, like, i don't know wif the democrats are really doing that, but i's the kind of thing they do in a week. And then there was some overlap with some of these atec billionaires that are trying to achieve ity through various methods,.

Shermer and Theroux discuss: how documentary films are made • religious fanaticism and why people believe • UFO cults, end-times sects, and cognitive dissonance • Scientology: religion or cult? • neo-Nazis and anti-Semitism • prisons, pornography, and prostitution • Jeffrey Epstein and Jimmy Savile • self-help movements and gurus • deception and self-deception • social proof and human conformity • are humans naturally rational, irrational, or both?

Louis Theroux is a genre-defining documentary filmmaker best known for his explorations of controversial and complex topics. Using a gentle questioning style and an informal approach, Louis has shone light on intriguing beliefs, behaviors, and institutions by getting to know the people at the heart of them — from the officers and inmates at San Quentin prison to the extreme believers of the Westboro Baptist Church; from male porn performers in California to young women with eating disorders in London.
