Episode notes
The Phantom Time Hypothesis is a theory suggesting that the Holy Roman Emperor and the Pope conspired to change the calendar by advancing it by 300 years to be in power in the year 1000. This fringe theory claims that we are actually in the 1700s, not 2024, which has been debunked. The speaker suggests that less harmful conspiracy theories could divert people from dangerous ones, like convincing individuals that we are truly in the 1700s. This approach is seen as a milder way to address conspiracy theories, providing an alternative that is less harmful and divisive.
