So, Burdo, we did an episode a little bit ago on QAnon, and I asked for follow-up questions,

so let's read those, and if we have time, we'll go to some emails as well. What do you say?

Let's do it. This is the Psychology and Study Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Kirkanda. I'm a therapist

and a professor. My name is Umberto Kassinha, and I build one-legged tables. People, so this is

someone emailing, and people seem to get into QAnon and trust it over members of their own family,

their close friends, etc. What qualities of QAnon lead people to trust memes instead of

that I think appeals. And lastly, it's a community that is large, and so you feel like

you're part of a community, so then why you would trust that above your family member, I think

people trust a lot of things over their family members, you know, there's all sorts of things
