Ep. 22: David Neiwert “Red Pill, Blue Pill”

Journalist and author of "Red Pill, Blue Pill: How to Counteract the Conspiracy Theories That Are Killing Us," David Neiwert explains how the process of learning on digital platforms enables people to become radicalized and fall into conspiracy thinking, the limits of conspiracies, and how we can begin to address a national crisis.

In his opening monologue, Jamie explains how the insurrectionists that sieged the U.S. Capitol building did everything for the clout of the message boards their movement started on — and the danger that lies ahead.
