Gordon White | The State of Conspiracy Culture, The Empire’s New Pivot, & Bilbo Baggins
Modern Conspiracy Culture, Russiagate, Psychological Payoffs
Gordon White and Greg Carlwood discuss the current toxic state of public discourse and the shift in conspiracy culture toward less productive topics. White notes that while the media focuses on Russiagate, polls show less than one percent of the U.S. public considers Russian interference a pressing issue. They explore the psychological payoffs of parapolitical research, with White sharing his personal experience of losing money during the 2008 Lehman Brothers collapse as a catalyst for his interest in how the world actually works.
