We all have a little conspiracy theorists living inside of us, right? We all tend to be a little paranoid to think, how could these things fit together? Is this all just a coincidence? So it's a form of pattern recognition in order to generate a narrative that makes sense of a complex world. It certainly makes sense that we would have some tendency to look out for ourselves.
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.
