Conspiracy theories have become a significant part of American society, with many people believing in them. The 2020 U.S. presidential election was a prime example of a conspiracy theory, with some people believing that the attacks were orchestrated by the then-neoconservative US government to create a pretext for invading Middle Eastern countries and seizing oil. In 2019, the F.B.I. cited QAnon as one of the dangerous conspiracy theories posing domestic terrorist threats to the United States and cited past incitements of terrorism.
A new analysis by Van Prooijen explains why some conspiracy theories take off and why some people are more vulnerable to them. The study is a review of research on attempts to counteract these theories. Conspiracy theories are unfounded, deeply held alternative explanations for how things are, often invoking some evolutionary theory.
Despite their bad rap in popular culture, research has shown that most Americans believe in conspiracy theories of some sort. Democrats who have heard of QAnon are more likely than their Republican counterparts to say it’s bad for the country. Almost eight-in-ten people believe in conspiracy theories.
The World’s Worst Conspiracies is a compilation of the most fascinating, bizarre, and compelling conspiracy theories in the world today. However, a team of researchers put this hypothesis to the test and found that conspiracy thinking is worse now than ever before. This is because people do not like the idea that out of the blue something terrible can happen, so it is psychologically comforting for some people to consider violence against phantom enemies.

This is the first article I’ve ever watched on this website, and I think I subscribed within the first ten minutes or so. As soon as you said you were okay with the squirrels in your attic because you shouldn’t be the only one to get warm, I knew I liked your attitude. You’re obviously thorough in your research, you have all these sources for us to check out, and you seem really passionate which is a huge part of being awesome to be around. I would 100% watch reviews of those two books, might actually go buy at least the first one myself because I love that type of fiction.
Yes Admiral Byrd, i saw one of these types of articles talking about agartha and did a whole debunk in the comments on that article but i have things i want to add, one of the favourite things people like to talk about is operation high jump which i believe was his fourth expedition to Antarctica, the only purpose of that entire mission was to test out equipment in frigged environments, mostly things like radios and what have you. this is more of a tanget but Admiral Larson deserves more credit because he actually organised the thing but i digress. What i really wanted to bring up was the story of Agarth itself, i did a bit of research looking to where it originated and i traced it back to a book called “Beasts Men and Gods” which the name Agartha was translated from its actual name Agharti which was a buddist soceity, underground BUT the Entrance to Agatha was never actually Antartica, in the book it mentions it is somewhere in Asia. there was a different explorer who claimed to have found Agartha and told storys about it was actually revealed to having plagiarized the entire story from the book Another thing is people think Admiral byrd was captured by the government and told to keep quiet, there is zero account of any of this happening and the article i saw talking agartha stated oh so they DID lock him up but then why award him a medal of honor or purple badge whatever it was, there is no account of him being locked up and alone though he did get that medal because he risked his life, its antarctica, its dangerous, not a question.
So cool that this led to you meeting family you never knew about. I love things like that, they show what a small world it is. I had my own moment when in college. I had a friend Evan, across the hall in my dorm, who was in a band with two friends from high school. Half a year later I’m visiting my sister where she was in college, on the other side of NY from mine, and went to a frat party. I was upstairs in a circle and someone passed me a bowl and I tried taking a hit. Prior to this, I had only ever smoked joints or from a corn cob pipe, and didn’t know what a carb was. The person who passed me the pipe kindly explained it, without mocking or anything. We got to talking and he started telling me about this band he was in back in Jersey. Turned out it was Morgan, the drummer in my friend Evans band.
Thanks for talking all that about the Bosnian “pyramid”. The only thing you got wrong was pronouncing Osmanagić (i.e. an irrelevant thing; by which I mean, you said it all as it is). I’ve had this article in watch-later for a while now, and that last chapter was a (pleasant) surprise. Now I’m gonna watch the second article!
I really want to make a map where there are like 30 continents apart from the 7, just like cut it in half really messily and hide it near an ancient relic or two, I would then give the location to a few people who believe in similar conspiracy theories, one of those people would be in on it and I would make it seem like they went missing, boom, the “Government” killed them, hid their body in a obvious obelisk, this obelisk would be decorated with “alien skulls”, it would put the conspiracy world in shambles. After a while, just get rid of the evidence, and gaslight everyone who believed in it. Thanks for listening to my rant.
hey bach, i have some news. the elvis story is not a theory, i’ve been there.. except not in the himalayas. in the fall of 05 i went on a journey. i walked to barcelona (yes over the water, humans can do it their legs are just weak) and dug a tunnel so i would not get caught. i followed this up by taking three lefts and right. i walked and i walked until eventually, i saw light. a sign to my left read out the words “el doria”. i had reached it. i stumbled my way on past the sign; my lack of water was putting a curse on me. up in the distance i could hear a faint murmur; “well, you ain’t never caught no rabbit and you ain’t no friend of mine”. startled, i froze. the noise edged closer, and the sound of footsteps grew louder and louder. before my eyes was the bunnyman and elvis presley. both had been rumoured to be dead, but this was false information. my eyes stayed on elvis to avoid contact with the bunnyman, i could feel his gaze pound through my heart as if i was trapped in his perfidious grasp. “ELVIS, HELP ME” i wailed and screamed, which was met with a “your hearts on fire too, so my darling, please, surrender” from mr presley. “NEVER” i cried out, “I WONT GIVE IN THAT EASILY”. to which elvis responded “baby, if i made you mad for something i might have said, please, let’s forget my past, the future looks bright ahead!” “THEN DO SOMETHING AND SAVE ME” i cried. “this time i’m gonna take it myself” elvis murmured, about to sacrifice himself “NO ELVIS DONT DO THIS! YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR!
i would love to see you watch more “believable” conspiracies because Tiktok is just pumping for content… i want to see the theories that have been so well thought out, so intricately made, but also absolutely wild – you know like the documentaries that interview believers and go to sites and stuff? they’re the fun ones
