Which of the videos was particularly interesting to you and why? 2. What conspiracy theories are you familiar with? 3. Have you ever believed any conspiracy theories? If so, have you stopped? What made you stop? 4. Do you know any conspiracy theorists? What do you think makes them the way they are? 5. Are conspiracy theories inherently dangerous? Should we work harder to disprove them? 6. Have conspiracy theories become more common? Why do you think so (or not)? 7. Some conspiracies are true, even though we only find out years later. But some are proven definitely false. Should we always reserve judgment until all possible information is available? 8. If you you could send a conspiracy theory into the world, what would it be? 9. Do you have a question on this topic which you would like to ask the group? Please remember to watch at least a few videos before you arrive since we’ll be discussing them when we begin. Once the hangout begins, everyone will introduce each other and then take turns asking the provided questions in order to keep the discussion on topic. Hangouts typically last 90 minutes, and once the hangout is over you will have the opportunity to add people to your buddytree to organize private hangouts and develop friendships. As always, these hangouts provide the opportunity for a thoughtful, respectful and engaging discussion in a safe space where disrespectful behaviour is not tolerated.
