world of weird things podcast: the recipe for conspiracy theories
Freelance journalist and Rantt Media contributor Kaz Weida joins the Fishes — well, the Fish who’s recovered from the plague enough to host a podcast episode — to talk about what makes so many people believe conspiracy theories and the science behind why they’re so attractive, especially when times get tough. From QAnon to the followers of Louise Mensch, to the psychology of MLMs, crank magnetism, and the business of conspiracy theories, and the critical flaw in our education system that allows conspiracies to thrive, we cover a lot of somewhat unnerving ground in just over half an hour as we dive into a world where hope and belief take some dark turns.
