Conspiracy Theory and Autodidact Brain (with Susannah Roberts and Derek Rishmawy)
April 20, 2024
Alastair Roberts
The journalist and writer Naomi Wolf recently posted on Twitter about her reading of a New Testament interlinear: https://twitter.com/naomirwolf/status/1780385997416497153. Susannah thought it provided a good occasion for a discussion of conspiracy theories and 'autodidact brain' and invited Derek Rishmawy to have a conversation with us.
