Is There a Way to Determine the Truth Value of Most Confederacy Theories?

Michael Shermer discusses his new book Conspiracy, out October 25, 2022. In Conspiracy Shermer:

• reviews and integrates evolutionary, psychological, social, cultural, political, and economic conditions that fuel conspiracy theories
• presents his own original three-tiered theoretical model of Proxy Conspiracism, Tribal Conspiracism, and Constructive Conspiracism
• classifies and systematizes conspiracy theories in order to tease apart their different causes (incl. JFK’s assassination, the 9/11 Truth movement, Pizzagate, QAnon, the Big Lie, Project MKULTRA, Operation Paperclip, and the perennial conspiracy theories surrounding UFOs)
• offers his Conspiracy Detection Kit on how to tell if a conspiracy theory is true, false, or undecidable
• and suggests how to talk to a conspiracy theorist.
