What really happens when the curtain gets pulled back? Why do we believe things that might not be true — or might be truer than we’re comfortable admitting? In this episode of My Current Understanding, Nate Davison and Seth Watson dive headfirst into the captivating world of conspiracy theories — from moon landings and lizard people to Big Pharma and government secrets. Along with our guest, Patrick Donahue, we explore the psychology behind why our brains crave hidden explanations, how conspiracies shape politics and society, and which ones might have a grain of truth. Buckle up as we separate fact from fiction, question our sources, and maybe — just maybe — learn more about why humans love a good plot twist. Whether you’re a skeptic, a true believer, or just conspiracy-curious — this one’s for you.
