Episode description
On this episode of the Argument Ninja Podcast I'm presenting edited versions of last three episodes of my first podcast show that I produced in 2010-11. These were the last episodes I produced of that podcast series, and I discuss why in the introduction.
The last three episodes were on the subject of conspiracies and conspiracy theories.

Topics discussed in this episode include:
- the definition of a conspiracy, and a conspiracy theory
- local vs global conspiracies
- default skepticism about conspiracies
- 9-11, the Moon Landings, the New World Order, mind control technologies, and other conspiracy theory examples
- real government conspiracies: COINTELPRO (FBI), MK-ULTRA (CIA)
- falsifiable and unfalsifiable conspiracies
- lessons each side can learn
