[00:00:00] Alex Tsakiris: On this episode of skeptiko, a show about discernment. And conspiracy theory.

[00:00:10] Richard Cox: A core tenant of spirituality is a kind of discernment okay. To sermon about on a fundamental level of thought, like, cause for a lot of people that is a massive change in their lives to realize that their thoughts aren’t true

We really should then be able to carry that sense of discernment out of our minds and into the world and say, well, is what the government is telling me. True. It’s it’s a thought.

And in some ways I’ve been indoctrinated into this system from birth. So it’s very compelling for that reason, but I should be able to apply more discernment to that.

And a show about discernment and conspiracy theory.

[00:00:47] Clip: I’m not worried this about me, my target here. Do they know me? Who is daddy? Do they know me? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Either. Very smarter, incredibly stupid.

[00:00:59] Alex Tsakiris: I have a really good chat coming up with Richard Cox from deep state consciousness podcast. And the author of the new book contemplating conspiracy. It’s a good one stick around. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Welcome to skeptical where we explore controversial science and spirituality with leading researchers, thinkers in their critics. I’m your host, Alex scarce. And today we welcome back Richard Cox. Great, great, great to have him back of this guy. If you know, if you’ve been around skeptical, we’ve done a bunch of shows over the years and, uh, I really ton of respect for him.

John, a respect for us. Very excellent podcast, deep state consciousness podcast, and. Also, I got a lot of love for this book of his new book, contemplating conspiracies excursions into undiluted madness. Richard, welcome back. Thanks for joining me.

[00:02:01] Richard Cox: Thank you.

[00:02:03] Alex Tsakiris: So this book is, is interesting, kind of a compilation of a lot of interviews.

You’ve done. I kinda, in the back of my mind, as I’m reading it, I’m having a chicken and the egg question like, did you start having the concept for the book and then do the shows off of that or vice versa? So that’s one of the things we’ll have to get into, but we’re going to do a deep dive into this cause there’s some really interesting topics, very interesting skeptical topics related to this book, but start just by telling us about the book contemplating conspiracy.
