Roots of Conspiracy Theory - Dr. Quassim Cassam

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.
