Any psychologist here able to explain a bit why some people are prone believing conspiracy theories? I can’t for the life of me figure out why some people, even highly educated, have a tendency to lean towards a mystical or conspiratory explanation for anything just slightly difficult to understand. Is there a part of the brain responsible for this?
Edit: I live in a country where people will find such an explanation for anything ranging from bad weather, to a bad economy, to even covid. And such theories are so prevalent that “normal” people are basically outliers.
