Yes, I have.

Yes.

You know what I think it is, Paul?

I think it's the mind abhors a vacuum, right?

The mind abhors a vacuum.

And when we don't have information, and when we can't get that information, it's just why I think conspiracy theories run wild on the internet these days, is because in the absence of information, in a world that's flooding you with information...

We get crazed when there's not an answer to something that makes sense or it's not immediate.

And just like that, the psychics offer something to people who are obviously having mental trauma, emotional trauma.

And that is they've just lost someone or they've lost someone at some point.

It was like a game of telephone at first, wasn't it?

Didn't the CIA put out certain kind of UFO conspiracies that then were driven by other conspiracies?

The CIA did some damage by playing these games, and now people have gone crazy.

Does this affect the... I'm getting the sense that America...

is first and foremost in the land of conspiracy theories and divisive thinking around conspiracy theories.

But now it's bled into other parts of the world, like the UK.

Is that true?

It's true.

And I think there's some part deep down also is that people want to believe they have some inside track, some inside knowledge.

It makes them feel like they have some control over situations that may not be in their own control.

Like, I really know what's going on.
