Speaker 1: Pushkin. People's intuitions are that that can't be right and
Speaker 1: so or that it can't be taken seriously. So, Malcolm,
Speaker 1: you've got to get people who take it seriously. If
Speaker 1: you if I take seriously, I don't think this is whacky?
Speaker 1: Is at all? I read this? I'm thinking this is
Speaker 1: dead serious. I'm Malcolm Gladwell here to tell you about
Speaker 1: season three of Revisionist History from Panoply, where I get
Speaker 1: dead serious school children being poisoned by one of the
Speaker 1: biggest symbols of our modern food. And so that was
Speaker 1: really the sort of the cherry on on that rotten cake.
Speaker 1: This season, I want to talk about mass delusion, because
Speaker 1: when you're deluded, you don't know you're deluded. You can't
Speaker 1: be reminded or educated. You're oblivious. And then the ranking
Speaker 1: minority remember gets up and basically says, take your lying
Speaker 1: data and go home, because we know what the truth is.
Speaker 1: We're being invaded and we've got to stop this. We'll
Speaker 1: meet the victims of mass hysteria and a hero who
Speaker 1: sets things right. She is a mix of Joan of Arc,
Speaker 1: Madame Curie, and Florence Nightingale. But if you've listened to
Speaker 1: the first two seasons of Revisionist History, You'll know that
Speaker 1: I can't stay serious for long. What are the really
Speaker 1: weird things with this story? Is the notion that you
Speaker 1: are an OSS officer in Munich and you bring along
Speaker 1: a famous harmonica players. What's strange about that? It's kind
Speaker 1: of like a ride along, you know, like Kevin Hart
Speaker 1: nice cue Revisionist History Season three, join me for the
Speaker 1: ride along, and you're like, You're like, don't you know
Speaker 1: this is the safest time to get on an air community.
Speaker 1: I can be really quite conscending. It turns out it's
Speaker 1: my favorite thing about you, Revisionist History, because sometimes the
Speaker 1: past deserves a second chance. Season three launches May seventeenth
