See, it is not just people like me who embrace conspiracy theories; everyone does. According to a new article in the journal Psychological Bulletin, people believe in conspiracy theories to feel safe about their environment, and make sewnse of their world. That is the result of a meta-analysis, an overview of other published research. While that is fine, the presumption here is that such conspiracy theories are still false. Yet, in fact, most conspiracy theories are in fact true, seen over a longer time period. Thus, the Covid lab leak hypothesis was dismissed by the mainstream at the time of he virus release, perhaps to let communist china of the hook, but when the origins became a cold case and the damage was done, the narrative switched from natural origins to the lab release. What was a conspiracy one day, another becomes accepted reality.
