It's nice to think that some education will solve conspiracies. But conspiratorial thinking originates in the gut--not the brain. It's not a lack of education (or an excess of stupidity). We become conspiatorial when we feel powerless. Whether that's about elections, or 9/11, or AIDS. And yes, i am susceptible to conspiracy too, and do are you. The cure to conspiracy isn't facts, but empathy.
