Episode notes

In my early 30s, I had an epiphany that we needed to teach the X generation critical thinking skills. To test this idea, I created a website called urologicalfallacyis.com, which explained logical fallacies in a simple sentence and allowed people to tag others online. This was the starting point for my vision of a free online curriculum that combines design and philosophy to engage learners worldwide.

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).
