224: How Conspiracy Theories Harm You
Manage episode 429493032 series 3537616
People don't believe in conspiracy theories because they find them rationally compelling. Rather, these ideas hijack an individual's need for a sense of purpose and belonging. They prey on our desire for the world to be thus regular and make sense.
However, the consequences of a conspiracy theory tend to be more personal than what the media would like you to believe, or, perhaps more importantly, what they might believe themselves.
And what is the Straw Lord Fallacy you might ask?
