Understanding Conspiracies

What social and psychological factors make us vulnerable to conspiratorial narratives? In this episode, I team up with Derek DeWitt of Conspiracy Clearinghouse in hopes to answer these questions. We dive into the hidden psychological nature of human beings in an attempt to explain how some of us become victims of misinformation or believers of the almost unbelievable. My goal is to understand what can lead people to down the rabbit hole of fiction, believing in things that have been thoroughly disproven or even narratives that are completely unhinged from reality. This is part one of a two part episode, be sure to check out the second part!
