In this episode I deliver quite a rant - on conspiracy theories, Corona (COVID-19) mania and more... Why is it that in times of crisis some of us rely on the least accepted and barely coherent message?So many of us have lots our anchors in the world and any sense of normalcy. This loss can lead people to grasp onto any solid concept that fits their previous beliefs without looking at sources or the truth. There are tons of conspiracy theories circulating about COVID-19, where it started, why it’s here, who’s in charge…the list goes on! Today, I’m encouraging you to stop relying on a small handful of unreliable sources and take control of your beliefs and new sources.
