Zinski: Individuals can take action on these theories and they can cause incredible damage when they do it. We gathered a thousand editors a year for 120 years from 1890s to 2010. And then we had about 120,000 letters and then we had our assistance code them all based on whether they engaged in a conspiracy theory or not. So, we wound up with this body of more than 800 letters over time.
Over the last few years, this show has devoted many shows to the psychology behind what we saw in the Capitol in January 2021. So, in this episode, we re-listen to three interviews on conspiratorial thinking to gain some perspective.
