Tales From The Rabbit Hole
Tales from the Rabbit Hole is an interview-style podcast focusing on people whose lives have been affected by the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap.

In an increasingly unstable world this kind of respectful confrontation of the wild discussion happening on the internet is needed.

Presented as objective criticism of conspiracy theories but mostly just Leftists portraying conservatives as nut jobs as if there’s no conspiracies in the Left. What is a woman?
What is a “professional debunker”?

Thrasymachus was an excellent debunker, as was Therisites. Thucydides and EH Carr— Their effectiveness was rooted in their capacity to draw fire power from an array of critical thinking tools, directing that power to their debunking work. I appreciate the importance of “debunking” Qanon, however one can do so, but West’s participation in the UAP debate strikes me as quite unconvincing. I would love to hear someone effectively debunk this stuff, because it freaks me out!! The fact that West’s contributions are so shallow, along with his tendency to cherry pick in ways that are glaringly obvious — well, this kind of freaks me out. If this is the only real debunker we have, then I have no choice but to assume this phenomenon is bigger than I once thought. That is how I happened on West— looking for someone who could tell me this was all hooey, and not finding it… folks, our whole legal system is premised on the idea that multiple corroborated testimonies actually mean something — videos, they just aren’t the only form of evidence — if they were, we would be in big trouble, given the growing sophistication of deep fakes…
