 Conspiracy Theories - Why?
I'm hoping you all can give me a little insight on the topic of conspiracy theories. I've never been one to believe in them personally, seeing them as a sort of mental trap for the unwary, but a friend of mine sent me a link to a video last week describing a conspiracy to control the world with RFID implants in every man, woman and child. This friend of mine is a very intelligent person, so I'm having trouble understanding why an intelligent person would buy into such things. I'm not looking for advice on dealing with my friend, but a little insight in general about why people buy into conspiracy theories would be welcome.
