Perhaps counter-intuitively, the most successful approaches to helping individuals escape a rabbit hole aren't comprised of simply explaining why they are wrong; rather, West's tried-and-tested approach emphasizes clear communication based on mutual respect, honesty, openness, and patience. West puts his debunking techniques and best practices to the test with four of the most popular false conspiracy theories today (Chemtrails, 9/11 Controlled Demolition, False Flags, and Flat Earth) - providing road maps to help you to understand your friend and help them escape the rabbit hole. These are accompanied by real-life case studies of individuals who, with help, were able to break free from conspiracism"--Amazon.com 650 0 $a Conspiracy theories. 941 $a 1 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127011852.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC0F5C2EBCE111EEA22CC97A4BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
