Escaping the rabbit hole : how to debunk conspiracy theories using facts, logic, and respect
West, Mick2020
Book
The Earth is flat, the World Trade Center collapse was a controlled demolition, planes are spraying poison to control the weather, and actors faked the Sandy Hook massacre. All these claims are bunk: falsehoods, mistakes, and in some cases, outright lies. But many people passionately believe one or more of these conspiracy theories. They consume countless books and videos, join like-minded online communities, try to convert those around them, and even, on occasion, alienate their own friends and family. Why is this, and how can you help people, especially those closest to you, break free from the downward spiral of conspiracy thinking? Author Mick West shares over a decade's worth of knowledge and experience investigating and debunking false conspiracy theories.
