0:31:51 QUOTE AND FAREWELL

“If we are going to be able to reach people, and if we are going to be successful in stemming the flow of misinformation, conspiracy and paranoia, we have to be able to be patient and personable, to be genuinely curious about other people and their motivations, and to understand as much as possible what can lead people off the beaten track, and into the wilderness.”
/ Michael ‘Marsh’ Marshall (13 August 1983 -), prominent UK Skeptic. Marsh is a project director of the Good Thinking Society, co-host of the Skeptics with a K podcast, host of the Be Reasonable podcast, as well as editor of the Skeptic (UK). /
