Conspiracies as a self-ceiling belief system
Conspiracies act as the 'crazy glue' that holds together a self-ceiling belief system, preventing the recognition of new truths and leading to the suppression of alternative perspectives.

This mindset also fuels the perception of criticism as an attempt to shut down voices, ultimately leading to excessive profiteering as the final characteristic of this self-ceiling bubble.
