Despite the obviously low base rate, I intuitively felt it was more plausible that Will Newsome is Glenn Beck’s ghostwriter than that Beck wrote that excerpt himself.
Many years ago, a friend shared with me the putative fact that the Vatican was, at the time, the largest single stockholder in Johnson and Johnson, which was at the time the world’s largest manufacturer of prophylactics. (I have no idea if either of these putative facts were ever actually true.) He went on to explain that, when he learned this, everything else began to make sense: whenever he encountered some X that might otherwise seem senseless, he could assure himself that in a world where the Vatican was the world’s largest supplier of prophylactics, X made perfect sense.
I feel similarly about the world where Will Newsome is Glenn Beck’s ghostwriter.
I wonder if this content of Glenn Beck’s book with so much SI stuff in it is what sent Will Newsome into the deep end without a paddle recently?

No causal connection as such, but you never know, there might be a latent node.
