Ghost are real, dead people are alive and oh, lizard cabal people run our Government. They believe people are clones or holograms, they don't know the difference between what's real and what's science fiction. And that's a danger to society when you can't trust your own eyes and think everything is a conspiracy and everyone is out to get you. It's a whole new level of paranoia.

    I remember going down south and out west in the early 70's and I noticed that most people that didn't know that much didn't speak much especially on topics they were not well informed about. They were a bit embarrassed when they talked out of a bit of fear of saying something that might be considered dumb. I liked speaking with them because they were honest in their talks but knew when they weren't sure about some matters. Today with all this social media nonsense everyone feels they got to open their mouth no matter what comes out of it.

The scariest part is that I’ve spoken with her before, and outside of politics she seems very normal and friendly. But it’s as though a switch flips whenever something political comes up. It’s sad how much it’s damaged her relationship with my BFF.

I was a substance abuse counselor for a long time and I was used to hearing this people speak and understood that either they used drugs to be able to cope with their mental problem and yet some had mental problems due to their addiction to drugs early in life !And when I hear this people speaking to Jordan it reminds me a lot of my experiences with my clients! Some older people speak like children or teenagers all giggly and having fun ,! Talking about their imagined theories! They hi- five each other and hit each other on the back! It's almost sad! Then they have their "preacher" telling them what to belief and they do it with all heart! Pathetic if it's not sad!

      That's what I've seen as well. No matter the evidence, they believe in the non-evidence, that has it been promised and never produced. The lack of proof on their side seems to be held in much higher regard than legitimate proof. Like the phone call to Raffenspurger, the forged elector certificates, the plan to have Pence reject ballots, the stolen documents, the real findings in the Mueller report, the testimony of only republiCONS in the Jan 6 hearings, etc.

    A lot of people don't understand why people believe conspiracies, but Jordan touched on something very simple that explains it. Believing in these things is much more fun than reality, and it makes people feel important. They believe they know something that a lot of other people don't. Their thought process is "you are are being fooled, but not me."
    We need to make people self-aware of this fact, so that they may better understand how they can be tricked into believing such ridiculous things... though it's certainly hard to help people be more self-aware if they don't want to be.

    I think what drives people to conspiracy theories is more than just an innate pre-disposition to make up stories. There is an element of feeling disenfranchised and dislocation that joining with others to become the special arbiters of the “truth” suddenly gives them meaning and makes them feel special. Social media props them up as a community, gives voice to the virtual cult. It is their response to coping with the first noble truth of Buddhism, that to be alive is to suffer. The conspiracy / cult is their way out.

    More, please. You might not remember this, but before the internet exploded, there was a clear precedent for this craziness - tabloid newspapers, like the Weekly World News.

    I felt like crying the entire interview. Very sad that Q anon believes these things. I hope they find their way back to reality somehow.
    Great Video! Thank you both!

    I love that people are talking to these people that claim the economy is killing them, but they are spending all their money on the "crazy", but when you see them in these videos, you can see it, but the people can't see themselves, that is where our mental health has gone in this country. Racism and fear of others that they don't understand has cracked the mental health gap to cause people to go over the edge

    There’s some great stuff here.
    Woman: “So Michael Jackson’s last concert comes to 113.”
    Jordan: “So what does that mean? I don’t know what ‘113’ means.”
    She looks at him incredulously, trying to fathom how anyone could fail to grasp the profound significance of the number 113.

      I think she actually thought Jordan had another perspective that she was ready to run with.
      She was genuinely waiting for something crazier.
