Last Seen...Talking About Modern Conspiracies
Manage episode 286628614 series 1005524
This is not the government writing this intro to tell you that Gorilla Shawn, recently receiving his first COVID-19 vaccine dose, is now under the control of Bill Gates. And Gorilla Christopher recently didn't eat fake Texas snow, and is not now a HAARP zombie! Nope...nothing to see, here...move on...
This time around, while still rebounding from the big Texas winter storm, the Gorillamen are taking on modern conspiracy theories. (Yes, they talked about conspiracy theories way back in Episode 3, but this time, it's more recent things...and the damage they're doing to the U.S. and beyond...)
What is discussed? How 'bout this:
- What’s the first time in the last few years you noticed an upturn in conspiracy thought?
- What’s the first modern conspiracy you saw?
- Why do you think conspiracy theories have come back into the mainstream lately?
- What kind of people are most susceptible to believing in conspiracies?
- What’s the dumbest conspiracy theory you’ve heard lately?
- What’s the most believable?
- How do conspiracies start, and why?
- Who benefits from the latest rash of conspiracy thought?
- Who is damaged by it?
- What’s the immediate future of conspiracy theories?
