Truth Wanted 09.10 with ObjectivelyDan and Coleman Watts

In today’s episode of the Truth Wanted, Objectively Dan and Coleman Watts work through a classic conspiracy theory caller before taking long-time caller Jon for a refreshing conclusion.

Greg in CA is not comfortable calling things conspiracy theories when they are true such as the conspiracy theory of who might be behind the events of September 11, 2001 because of words mentioned in a classroom. It has not been demonstrated that a former POTUS was behind these events, however, these events could have been used to benefit him politically. What happens when you have two or more conspiracy theories? Why would any reasonable or sane person allow an attack to happen? When the world’s problems are blamed on a particular race, bad things tend to unfold. If you take the time to get to know people of the race that you think is responsible for all evil things, it makes it harder to believe your conspiracy about that race. How do you explain the bad things that have happened in the world that have nothing to do with Jewish people? When you are more interested in perpetuating your delusional ideas than having an actual conversation, there is no point in continuing the discussion. Just to be clear, we do NOT endorse any views of this caller.

Jon in Canada, is convinced that Area 51 conspiracies are bogus because the aliens would not just come all the way here and then fly away. Why would we not be interesting to aliens when there is no apparent life around us? If such a technology existed to allow defiance of time and space, it would be a shame if they crashed in a desert that might have looked like the planet they just abandoned.

Thank you for joining us this week! Remember, always keep seeking the truth, even when loved ones are wearing tin foil hats.

The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

We request pronouns as part of the call screening process on our shows, and we display the pronouns our callers provide. If you see a caller with no pronouns indicated, this is because they chose not to provide us with any, and we respect that decision.
