The list of individuals who have managed to escape the rabbit hole of conspiracism is short, but there is an even shorter list of individuals who have then gone on to become popular skeptical podcasters. Former conspiracy enthusiast Coleman Watts discusses why people fall for cults and cons, and how he managed to climb out of the rabbit hole. What’s the best way to talk to a conspiracy theorist to dissuade – and persuade – them from their views? Is misinformation taking over, and if so, why?For our January member gathering Coleman Watts will talk about all of this and more in an engaging talk about his experiences debunking the views he used to embrace.
Coleman Watts is the host of the YouTube show Think This Through. He debunks cons, cults and conspiracies with a humorous flair, drawing on his own experience of falling down the rabbit hole himself.
The meeting will be held in the auditorium of the Main Public Library downtown. It is free and open to the public. Metered street parking is free on Sundays, and there is parking available in the garage under the library (garage closes at 5).
