Evaluating Crazy People

A reader sent me this, a guy who believes the Big Lie, that climate change is a hoax, and that Bill Gates’ goal is the enslavement of all humankind.

To me, a better explanation is that he actually is an unhinged, harmful conspiracy theorist.

Sadly, he has a point: for people like this, there really is no looking back.  At the very best, it’s like breaking free from a cult: it can be done, but it requires a completely new way of looking at the world and a great deal of fortitude.
