Episode: Roots of Conspiracy Theory - Dr. Quassim Cassam
Description: Today, our alien scientists meet up with Dr. Quassim Cassam, a philosopher at the University of Warwick who specializes in perception and acquisition of knowledge. He is particularly interested in the ways in which we come to doubt what we know and has recently written a book on the subject of mistrust called "Conspiracy Theories."
The conversation investigates new ways to assess the validity of information and how to navigate the border between skepticism and outright distrust. Â
