The Political Consequences of QAnon
The idea of being puritanical about truth is fascinating but before discussing that I did want to ask you know we've talked about sort of perhaps the political consequences of conspiracy theories like QAnon or other conspiracy theories maybe less than people think. There's been a lot of reporting from people who feel like they have lost family members to QAnon and have found it painful and alienating. Is there no way to explain to someone and convince them that this stuff isn't true? And second of what do you make of that reporting about the sort of interpersonal consequences of QAnon is that exaggerated in your view as well or is that something that perhaps we should view differently?"
