| Quote of the Week |
Conspiracy theorists make sense of the past by creating a plausible pattern that connects events that we know of, or suppose, in a meaningful way. Conspiracy theories are a way to create meaning out of the chaos of our lives and of the past. |

Question #1: Predicting the Pandemic ()
Since I am still a relatively new listener, I have been working my way through older podcasts. I just listened to podcast #117 (from 2007/10/17). That interview with Dr. Mark Crislip was downright scary. I had to consciously remind myself that it was over 10 years old, which actually made it worse. If I had that kind of presentiment, it would depress the hell out of me. - Jack, Chicago Area
