Back when I was 18, I started smoking weed and watched way too many conspiracy theory videos. While I didn't really believed in them, I still felt slightly "uncomfortable", strangely entertained and hooked. It was mostly about 9/11, Chemtrails, Nibiru and other space/science related things. It went for a year and some months, but stopped when I discovered nice "..... Theory Debunked" videos. Their explanations were making much more sense to me and I learned that you often can use real science or just logic, to explain things or even recreate stuff by yourself. Even if it's sometimes much harder to understand some things and needs further education/understanding
I talked to many conspiracy believers during that time, and they often have some particular things in common.
Most of them are super religious (it's all about Jesus, Satan, and Angels), unsatisfied, anxious and super distrustful. Or sometimes just uneducated and in search for easy answers, for complex questions.
I always wondered why such people never get the idea, that such conspiracy theories could be wrong and misleading too. Some people are just using conspiracy theories to make tons of money by selling pseudo scientific books and giving expensive lectures. Isn't that much more suspicious?
