We kick off 2021 with an episode recorded unusually close to its release! We give our thoughts on the recent storming of the Capitol especially as it relates to the Intellectual Dark Web, the topic of a multi-episode series we'll be releasing over the coming weeks. We also talk about conspiracies in general and about how all three of these topics intersect.
