The Hang Theory. A lecture series by Hang Dallas.
One speaker. One big idea. One good room.
Where · Times Ten Cellars.
When does a conspiracy theory stop being a theory and start functioning as a religion? Steven Monacelli has spent years tracking the mechanics of extremism and disinformation in Dallas and beyond, watching fringe beliefs harden into something closer to faith. This talk examines that shift, the online spaces where it happens, and what it looks like when algorithmic feeds become the scripture.
