Mike Lindell Launches MyConspiracy™: Lose Everything From Your Couch | Satire Saturday

What happens when confidence becomes more important than evidence?

This week's Satire Saturday imagines Mike Lindell launching MyConspiracy™—a fake online masterclass teaching the internet how to reach conclusions first, shop for evidence later, move the goalposts, and never admit you're wrong.

But this episode isn't really about Mike.

It's about all of us.

Whether it's politics, sports, investing, or social media, we've all seen what happens when people become so invested in being right that they stop following the facts. Through parody, fake course modules, and plenty of laughs, Chad explores confirmation bias, sunk-cost fallacy, and why humility may be the rarest commodity on the internet.

Sometimes the smartest thing you can say isn't "I knew it."

It's "I was wrong."

Satire Setup And The Case Study

SPEAKER_00 0:05

Good evening, everybody. Welcome to Saturday Satire. The only show where we solve absolutely nothing but hopefully make everyone just uncomfortable enough to laugh. Breaking news: after years of controversy, interviews, courtrooms, and what I'm assuming is a platinum rewards card with his attorneys, Mike Lindell has decided to pivot. Forget my pillow, introducing My Conspiracy, the world's first online masterclass teaching you how to lose your business, your reputation, your retirement account, and Thanksgiving dinner without ever leaving your couch. Now, to Mike's credit, he overcame a crack addiction. That's genuinely admirable. Unfortunately, he may have traded one addiction for another. Absolute certainty. Because once you become convinced you're right, evidence starts looking like the enemy.

When you need common sense, come see chat law. The boat is pundited. You ever stop? It's hard, and the talk is real. Reality rules, and that's the appeal. You don't down the law with the back.

With common sense. I'm Chad Law, and this is Common Sense, the show where we read the fine print so you don't have to. Now, before anyone loses their mind, this episode isn't really about Mike Lindell. He's just today's case study. Because this disease isn't Republican, it isn't Democrat, it isn't conservative, it isn't liberal. It's human. Every one of us has had the moment where we stopped asking, Am I right? And started asking, how do I prove I'm right? Those are two completely different questions.

My Conspiracy University Playbook

SPEAKER_00 2:02

So today, welcome to My Conspiracy University. Module 1. Conclusions first. Facts later. Welcome students. Today we're going to skip the boring part. Research. Instead, we'll begin where all the great internet experts begin. With the answer. You've already decided what happened. Congratulations! Half the work is done. Now all you have to do is spend the next five years finding people who agree with you. It's amazing how efficient the system is. Not confusing facts, not uncomfortable questions, not changing your mind. Just pure confidence. Lots and lots of confidence. Module 2. Evidence shopping. Professional investigators gather evidence. Scientists test hypotheses. Engineers try to prove themselves wrong before they build a bridge. Our graduates? They shop. One podcast agrees? Add to cart. One blurry screenshot with 17 red circles? Ooh, that's premium content. One guy recording from the front seat of a pickup truck? Verified expert. Twenty independent sources disagree? Obviously compromised. That's called efficiency. Module three. Every disagreement makes you more right. Friends disagrees? Oh brainwashed. Neighbor disagrees? Must be part of it. Journalist disagrees. Bought and sold. The judge disagrees? Even bigger conspiracy. Your accountant tells you to calm down. Clearly, big spreadsheet got to him. The beauty of this system is you never lose. Because every piece of contradictory evidence magically becomes proof your theory is even stronger. It's like intellectual jujitsu. Reality attacks, you somehow end up more convinced than you ever were before. Module 4, the Sunk Cost Survival Guide. This is where most people get trapped. Say you've spent years defending an idea. You've argued online, lost friends, burned bridges, maybe even spent a fortune. At that point, admitting you're wrong doesn't feel like changing your opinion. It feels like admitting your entire identity was built on sand. So instead, you double down. Because if you've already dug a six-foot hole, the logical answer is obviously dig to China. Module 5, Internet Detective School. Today's assignment: open 15 browser tabs, watch 11 videos, read zero original documents, then proudly announce, I've done the research. Research used to mean collecting facts. Now it means finding people who already agree with you. That's not research. That's Yelp for opinions. Module 6, moving the goalposts. Prediction didn't happen? Excellent. Move the prediction. Oh, still didn't happen? Move it again. If your theory can never actually be disproven, you've never technically lose. Congratulations. You've invented the world's first undefeated argument. Oh, and then there's a bonus lesson. The Thanksgiving Championship Edition. Your cousin asks, What evidence would change your mind? Ooh, wrong question. Immediately reply, that's exactly what someone involved would ask. Conversation over. Turkey ruined. Grandma disappointed. But course completed. Now here's the funny part. Every one of us is laughing because we've all done this. Maybe not with politics,

Sunk Costs And The Humility Pivot

maybe with sports, maybe with investing, maybe with relationships, maybe with that stock you swore was definitely coming back. Maybe with the coach you defended for three losing seasons. Maybe with the employee everyone warned you about. We all become emotionally invested in being right. Problem is, reality doesn't care how invested you are. Reality doesn't negotiate. Reality just keeps showing up. The smartest people I know aren't the ones who never make mistakes. They're the ones willing to say, you know what? I missed that one. That isn't weakness, that's wisdom. That's how businesses survive, that's how investors make money, that's how adults grow. So let this be a lesson to all of us. Whether you're Stephen A. Smith trying to talk politics, Mike Lindell becoming an election expert, or a politician trying to explain economics. There's an old saying for a reason. Stick to what you know. Mike built an incredible business selling pillows. Stephen A built an incredible career talking sports. Success in one field is something to be proud of, but it doesn't automatically make you an expert in every other field. The world has a funny way of humbling people the moment they confuse confidence with competence. So here's my common sense takeaway. Know what you know, know what you don't. And if the evidence starts pointing in another direction, have the humility to follow it. Changing your mind isn't weakness. Sometimes it's the smartest decision you'll ever make. I'm Chad Law. This has been Satire Saturday.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm launching my own online master class. How to become an astronaut because I once flew southwest. Enrollment opens Monday. Good night, America.
