Reddit reviews Suspicious Minds: Why We Believe Conspiracy Theories

Are you retarded m8? If there was any investigation, and authorities needed access to the comments, they'd easily be able to just get them from Reddit, you know that, right?

Also, what evidence of any crime was present.

They removed a fucking email address because you mentally ill clowns work yourselves into a delusional feeding frenzy and then harass the shit out of people, or worse you show up to their place of work with a loaded rifle.

Look - I'm going to link you a book, and it's a book that will change your life if you read it, you do not have to be this delusional, please, read the book.

Not technically, no, depends on how you want to define "crazy."

Religion is a mechanic of how the human brain works, it's perfectly normal in that context and not at all crazy.

Good book, it's about conspiracies, but the mechanics behind conspiracist views are the same as they are in religion.

I'm pretty sure that I've read close to 90% of all the books ever written on the psychology of conspiracy theories. While the self esteem element is left out, this is by far the best, and most accessible book on the topic I've read to date. It reads like (and in some ways is) a regular pop-psy book but it's really great. I literally could not out it down and read cover to cover first go (despite the unfortunate slow start with the history component).

Have a read, seriously. Every page has frustrating parallels to Trump voters. The worst part if the book is that it unfortunately offers no solutions (sorry for the spoiler). It's actually a complicated combination of factors and as such, has no single solution.

You can't teach self awareness, critical thinking and emotional intelligence to someone who is terrified of what, deep down, they'll know they'll see in the mirror.

This is another excellent one : https://www.amazon.com/Suspicious-Minds-Believe-Conspiracy-Theories/dp/1472915615

I've about 50 books on the psychology of conspiracy theorists and thus is the one that explains things in the easiest to understand way. I read it cover to cover in a night, it was incredibly interesting. Author has a blog but it's rarely posted to unfortunately.

You can't reason with these people. It's like convincing the pope that there's no God. They go through a logical fallacy loop, literally ticking off each and every possible fallacy, until they reach the end and start again.

It's not caused by a lack of facts, it's caused by a lack of reason and self awareness, a fear if losing agency and low self esteem. These people are literally wired differently and gave below average emotional intelligence. It's why it's so frustrating trying to talk sense into them.

Why would I not insult you?

You're so psychologically entrenched and indoctrinated literally no amount of facts will ever convince you that you're just wrong, your thinking is faulty.

I'll just suggest a book to you and I think reading it would help you a lot.

There is a really good book called Suspicious Minds from a couple of years ago that reaches the same conclusion, written by Dr Rob Brotherton. The book is based on his Psychology PhD thesis.

It baffles me how you people fall for blatantly fake pictures people on 4chan make.

Not only are you outright lying about Paddock, you're linking blatantly photoshopped pictures as if they're real.

I feel really sorry for you. I'm sorry the education system failed you and I wish there was some way I could help you.

The only thing I can do is suggest a book that might improve your ability to spot bullshit: https://www.amazon.com/Suspicious-Minds-Believe-Conspiracy-Theories/dp/1472915615

If you want to be a smarter person, read it. If you want to keep getting bamboozled by 4chan, then don't.
