How Conspiracy Theories Can Make You a Better Person

Kyle Kingsbury, Mark England, and Adam Chin. They all have something in common. A couple weeks ago I invited the best narrative geeks in the game over to the studio to have a little fun with conspiracy theories. And as you probably already know, conspiracy theories are just theoretical narratives that are labeled as such because it counters the narrative held by the majority. Buying into any single narrative can be dangerous. Ken Wilber (one of the greatest philosophers of our time) once said “extremists believe that a part is the whole”. That is they only know a part of the truth but treat it as the whole truth. Extremists are dangerous. They start conflict and can never bring peace. So, whether you’re down with the mainstream or you’re a hardcore conspiracy theorist you’re probably wrong, and partly right. Either way, on today’s show we discuss how to wade through the BS and get down to the facts that will actually help you live your best life no matter what the rest of the world is doing.
