The

The Welcome to the Stone Choir podcast. I am Corey J. Mahler.

And I'm still, whoa. On today's Stone Choir, we are going to be discussing how you can safely ingest new novel information that flies in the face of what you knew yesterday.

Another way of putting it more simply is, what do you do with these conspiracy theories?

Last week, we talked about one of the biggest conspiracy theories of the 20th century.

If you don't believe what we said, then that was a completely insane episode out of left wing and also has to be very evil because of the nature of it.

If it's not a conspiracy theory, if it's actually true, then it reshapes how you view things.

And one of the reasons we wanted to do this episode today is that we've done a number of episodes, maybe not quite

that earth-shattering in the past.

You know, when we talked about Michael Martin Luther King Jr. being a heretic, he was never

a Christian a day in his life.

And by the way, the civil rights movement was invented by the Soviets to undermine America.

Those are facts.

That's like it's, it's both a conspiracy theory and a fact.

You have to deal with how do you work through that, especially when everything that everyone

knows says the opposite of it. So we wanted to discuss today what is important for us as individuals

as we're taking in new information because every day in the world, there's a new fad diet, there's some new scientific discovery that upends everything we knew, there's some political or historical revelation, and they all have the effect of unmooring us from reality, where we basically feel

like I can't trust anything. And ironically, that's sort of one of the things that's undergirding

a lot of the episodes of Stone Quire. We're going back and looking at things and saying, well,

they were saying this for, you know, the last 100 years or 200 years.

But if you look before that, they were saying the opposite.

So one of them is a lie.
