Get your pocket constitution ready. Antonio Perez, a former conspiracy theorist who followed Alex Jones, shares why Jones' over the top theories about the New World Order appealed to him, how Antonio's addiction factored into his thinking, the sense of community that his beliefs brought him in the early days of the internet, the dopamine addiction that comes with following conspiracy theories and how they're filling a need that could be met in other ways, and why having an internal locus of control can help avert conspiratorial thinking. Plus, how he finally stepped away from the deep-state obsession and the book he's writing on how to help people think for themselves again.
