1/ What draws people to conspiracy theories & why do they often cling to them - even against a mountain of facts?

Here are 5 reasons ⤵️

🔗 Download the poster: bit.ly/5ReasonsNLP

#ConspiratorialThinking
A black background graphic with overlaid text explaining five reasons why people fall for conspiracy theories. COMPELLING STORIES: Conspiracy theories present exciting, fascinating narratives. SIMPLIFIED EXPLENATIONS: Complex social issues and problems are rarely clear-cut. Conspiracy theories provide people with simplified explanations ... and someone or something to blame. MOTIVATED REASONING: Believers in conspiracy theories tend to only search for and present information that confirms their theory - and to find far-fetched reasons to dismiss anything that proves them wrong. SENSE OF BELONGING: Many conspiracy theory communities provide believers with a sense of connection and purpose that all people need. COGNITIVE BIASES: Conspiracy theories seem much more credible and compelling than they actually are because they take advantage of common errors i the ways we think.
