Perhaps you should listen to your own family instead of worshiping the government and asking some random newspaper shill for advice on how to run someone else's life... Oh, sorry, that would require you to actually apply yourself and do real work, my apologies. Just tell yourself he is crazy and turn him into the authorities like a good little soviet. Be sure to drink your fluoride, take your damn vaccines, and never question the government, because that is a mental illness, after all, you don't want to be put in the camps which don't exist right!?! Good! Now just gobble them pills and tell yourself everything is going to be alright! - Chris Dear Cary,

I have a 17-year-old nephew who is a smart kid but a very poor student. He's kind of always been coddled by his mom (my sister), who has made excuses for his inability to comply with the basic requirements of schooling since early elementary school. What may be in part this past, in part his innate stubborn nature and in part a real disability, he has always had a hard time reading and never did well in school.

We used to have in-depth historical and political conversations (I have a B.A. in global history and a J.D., speak several languages, and have lived in many parts of the world), but I got married a couple of years ago and subsequently moved to a nearby state, and our interactions became limited to family functions a few times a year.

Over the last few months, he's gotten sucked into the Internet conspiracy black hole created by some guy named Alex Jones. Jones does an Internet video broadcast alleging all sorts of conspiracies. It's the same litany of shadowy cabals manipulating governments, businesses, etc., that have existed for centuries. Among other things, he's convinced that President Obama is a Nazi (!), Bill Gates is trying to depopulate the world, and fluoride in the water is there to lower IQs.
