10. They're not the only ones

I met with some friends recently, school teachers, who are still working, although well past retirement age. I’ve always thought of them as exceptionally aware, well informed and intelligent. They resisted the fox brainwashing. I was really shocked to hear them say they were convinced by a podcast that there’s proof that some nonverbal autistic kids communicate by telepathy. They advised me to listen to it myself. Comments about the podcast online indicate that it’s very convincing until you go over the paywall for the video and the scam becomes obvious. it’s disturbing that these otherwise sensible people have come to believe this. I guess no one is immune.
