This brilliant Sacha Baron Cohen speech has gone viral all over again on Twitter for reasons we presumably don’t need to go into right now.

In it the Borat creator talks about conspiracy theories and the ‘death of the age of reason’ and much else besides and it’s well worth two minutes of your time.

It was originally posted by @mvttyraw and has just been shared again by @RexChapman .

2-minutes from Sacha Baron Cohen.

“Voltaire was right, “Those who can make you believe absurdities — can make you commit atrocities.”

And just a few of the comments it prompted.

He’s legitimately, intellectually brilliant

When your comedians are more intelligent than your elected leaders, you might be doing the whole democracy thing wrong
