The queue (wonqueue?) for the #KnowledgeFight live show at #QEDcon
-
"What better image of integration could you have than women in hijabs going to Starbucks and shopping for pool supplies? It's like a Norman Rockwell painting." But Alex feels threatened by it, so rants on air.
#QEDcon -
"The media completely misses the mark on how severe Alex's bigotry is, maybe because nobody watches his show apart from me and his fans."
#QEDcon -
"It doesn't matter whether Alex believes the things he's saying."
#QEDcon -
Audio clip of Alex on air claiming graphically to have murdered several people by stomping their guts out.
#QEDcon -
Audio clip of Jones, while being fawningly interviewed by Glenn Greenwald, saying he was drunk when he defamed the parents of the children murdered at #SandyHook.
#QEDcon -
"I took the risk [of being prepared to accept that what Jones was saying was true if backed up by facts] but it turns out... Alex is full of shit. So me and reality are still cool."
#QEDcon -
Dan's project started because he couldn't find criticism of stuff Jones was saying, by people who'd really listened to his show and looked at the underlying sources.

Research has shown that even the memories that we see as being fundamental are prone to bias, and even outright fabrication. Discussing the consequences of false memories at QED will be Christopher French, Ciara Greene, Kevin Felstead, and Deborah Hyde.
