Audio Clip: [00:00:00] Remove the subjects clothes ( Screaming ) Let us stare upon his baby skin

Alex Tsakiris: [00:00:14 ] That’s Will Ferrell yucking it up with a mock satanic ritual on true TV, buck because there is no such thing as consciousness, extended consciousness spirits, God, angels, demons, none of that stuff has any reality. Well, maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. Here’s a clip from my interview with today’s guest, Isaac Weishaupt.

Isaac Weishaupt: [00:00:43] I’m saying that when you understand how these people think, they believe that there’s a sort of ceremonial ritual magic they can conduct where they can literally transform the world and this goes back, we could finish our thoughts on who the Illuminati was. There was conspiracy theories back in the late 1700s, that the Illuminati was behind the French Revolution.

Alex Tsakiris: [00:01:09] Welcome to Skeptiko, where we explore controversial science and spirituality with leading researchers, thinkers, and their critics, I’m your host, Alex Tsakiris. Today, we welcome Isaac Weishaupt to Skeptiko. Isaac is the author of several actually many high ranking books on Amazon, if you are watching a YouTube on this, you can see me pulling them up and they kind of stream past really quick, but he’s done a lot and some of them have gotten up there in the kind of 5% realm on Amazon, which is pretty hard to do. And he’s also the host and creator of conspiracy theories in unpopular culture, a podcast that I’m sure all Skeptico listeners are subscribed to, I say that kiddingly because one of the real reasons I wanted to have Isaac on the show today is because, you know, we did an episode on his show, he was nice enough to invite me on and we had really I a thought a great talk about why evil matters and he had some good perspectives on that. And I just kept thinking, you know, one of the things I feel like, it is difficult for me with Skeptiko is I’ve been doing it for so long. And I know I have this base of not only listeners because it’s not about listeners, it’s about us all kind of growing in this information together. But I have this base of interviews and knowledge that I’ve gained, whose origin is in science, like sci, you know and like, near death experience and like parapsychology researchers and Rupert Sheldrake, Dean Radin and all those people I super respect. And people I still interview like, I have an interview in the hopper with Dr. Steven Braude, who anyone is in a psychology community knows. But if you’ve been following the show, you know that I’ve also been headed down the conspiracy path. And, as I’ve said several times, I didn’t choose that it chose me. Because ultimately, my finding in this show is that science as we know it, scientism? The idea that you’re a biological robot in a meaningless universe, is a fucking conspiracy. It’s not accidental. It’s best understood as a conspiracy. And that opened me up to guys like Isaac, who have been coming at this conspiracy thing for a long time, going hard, and really, really digging up some important information that, you know, if I was to run across Isaac’s books, and his podcast five years ago, I would have just dismissed it as all crazy stuff.
