I think the best way to stop belief in conspiracy theories is to decrease the number of real conspiracies.
From Watergate to Epstein it’s shown that people in power commonly abuse their own power. From Enron to Purdue Pharma it’s shown that some Americans will indirectly kill other Americans for profit.
I’m not sure how we reduce political corruption or individual greed pursed with morals abandoned. However, I think that’s where the conversation should be around. I can’t blame people for believing China manufactured and unleashed a bio weapon that causes a disease we call Covid-19, that’s on par for the type of evil things other people are doing in the world.
