As an example, for the idea I gave about Bill Gates & the Covid-19. The Bill Gates part would just be a hook to the more interesting theme: How do conspiracy theories spread.
And from that, I can talk about How a conspiracy theory is built by going deep into a few related topics:
- How the most effective conspiracy theories allegedly happened in front of all while most are oblivious to them, this could be called the "grandeur" effect
- How rumors spread:
1. People Spread Rumors When There’s Uncertainty
2. People Spread Rumors When They Feel Anxiety
3. People Spread Rumors When the Information is Important
4. People Spread Rumors When it Helps Their Self-Image and Social Status
-How confirmation bias leads people to not even accept opposite opinions (and the help of news & social media algorithms, which encourage this bias)
-How the "mille feuille argumentatif" (french term, the MFA is used by politicians, people who debate, and conspiracy theorists), which consists in flooding someone with data and information, which is an influence tactic.
- A sort of collective Persecutory delusion, because of the common thinking that "the rich always harm the poor for profit"
And I could still do more research about the topic, hope the kind of content I'm striving to make is more clear :)
For the moment I made 2 short videos which do not go as in depth, this is because I had no editing and filming experience beforehand, and I want to ship a few projects before making more longform videos. :)
