The more of these kind of wellness conspiracy ish products are out there, the more susceptibility that's giving people to falling into other forms of conspiracy thinking. You're probablyt going to get somebody who has a really robust yoga practice and does their stupid clens every couple of months. They're not necessarily going to fall into while the deep state stole the election from donald trump. But where they might go is, oh, i don't really trust the science on the vaccine. It's very hard to interdict in that pipe line. If that person is not doing anything, hurting somebody else or ba himself.
Special guest Mike Rothschild tells us how the road to wellness can be an on-ramp to a conspiracy theory. Along the way we debunk oil pulling, explore Instagram aesthetics and bemoan anti-vaxx argumentation tactics . Mike gets the date of the January 6th insurrection wrong and he is sorry.
