It's a Conspiracy!

A rash of recent "scientific" studies about what makes conspiracy theorists tic have been hitting the news lately.

John nearly falls for an Ethereum scam, but escapes at the last minute. Probably because he used his conspiratorial thinking to question the scam, natch!

Kanye West (or is that Yeezus) tweets, "Question Everything". Hmm... great minds think alike. ;-)

An A.I. bot named Norman that's a real psycho, which leads us into a discussion of robot cognition, and life, the universe, and everything. The future's gonna get weird.
