Bonus Sample: Talking to Children About Conspirituality

An audio essay loosely based on conversations Matthew has while parenting. Content is possibly appropriate for ages 7 to 11 — although who really knows. The main point is to deflate the media persona and cut back on the cynicism and hot-takery to discuss these things in a way that leaves the door open for growth and hope. Rules: use simple sentences, many examples, frame bad news within good news, and never call anyone stupid. Don’t give a kid a story that has no way out. Don’t people their world with hopeless cases.Questions include: What is a conspiracy? What’s the difference between a good and bad conspiracy? So what are conspiracy theories? Are all conspiracy theories bad? How can people can believe COVID isn’t real when they can see how many people are getting sick and dying? Why do conspiracy theorists make things worse than they actually are? Why would the government cover up aliens? What is spirituality? What do conspiracy theories have to do with spirituality? So if you grew up believing in Jesus, did you used to believe in conspirituality? -- -- --Support us on PatreonPre-order Conspirituality: How New Age Conspiracy Theories Became a Health Threat: America | Canada Follow us on Instagram | Twitter: Derek | Matthew | JulianOriginal music by EarthRise SoundSystem Learn more about your ad choices.
