Ep 335: Conspiracy Theories - Why So Easy To Believe?

from Psychology in Everyday Life: The Psych Files · host Michael Britt

Why do some conspiracy theories seem to have so much evidence to support them? Well, that's because if you look hard enough at any event, and you don't have any particular theory before you start looking, you're eventually going to find something. And you'll probably think that thing is AMAZING. This is what careful thinkers and researchers have to learn: if you're going to find something truly amazing, you have to make your predictions FIRST. In this episode I talk about how we can be fooled by conspiracies.
