In this episode I discuss how people suffering from conservatism often fall into conspiratorial thinking. Because they hold beliefs based on faith like: god, the bible, Jesus, and others they aren’t well versed in critical thinking. Thus, they readily and easily believe other nonsense like: flat Earth, lizard people, the mark of the beast, and others. During one of my many social dinners, I was treated to an onslaught of conspiratorial beliefs by an ex-friend of mine named Jerry. Jerry is a moron, and believes nearly everything he sees or hears on: Ancient Aliens, Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Fox News, and other uncritical and dubious sources. Join me as I take you through this horrific experience and decode how and why conservatives so readily fall into this type of insanity.
