>I would argue that believing in one conspiracy theory makes you much more susceptible to others, because they all require a flawed type of logic. Do you believe that 9/11 happened? By any definition, that was a conspiracy among hijackers. We have the government's theory of how that conspiracy unfolded, as well as a variety of other theories about how that conspiracy unfolded (some extremely unhinged). If you do believe that 9/11 happened, then you believe in at least one conspiracy theory. Does that make you "susceptible" to others? The fact is that any time two (or more) people get together and make a plan that isn't public, that is a conspiracy. This happens every day, millions of times per day. This happens in every board room, every statehouse, every hall of power. Every one of these is a "conspiracy" that people may or may not have theories about. The fact that there are many mentally ill people out there who have unhinged ideas about absurd conspiracies doesn't make the fact that there are many actual conspiracies unfolding around us every day.
