Conspiracy Theories and Psychological Phenomena

Are you one who buy into all the conspiracy theories that you see on the Internet, or YouTube videos that you watch? If you are like me, many of them sounds plausible, that is to say they are "plausibly deniable" and if you really stop and think about it there is probably nothing to it, but there's always that big question;

"What If?"

And so, it's okay to be thinking there if you are thinking in a science fiction mode, or a fictional detective thought process, but just make sure to eat fish and get your Omega-3 intake, so you don't turn into a lunatic conspiracy theorist like James H. Fetzer on other. Not long ago. I was talking to someone who is quite the conspiracy theorist, and it is fun to discuss the "what if's" with him, but being levelheaded myself; he asked me;

"Do I just shut up, quit with the conspiracy theory crap, and pretend everything is going to be wonderful?"

And therefore I told him; "Yes, it is probably better if you do, as folks that run-away with such things only feed the crazies who make things worse, and the radical nature of the human mind." Further, I recommended that he studied Occam's razor, because 90% of the time it usually comes up with the right answer.

And the rest of the 10%, perhaps you might question from time to time, but you shouldn't run away with the first conspiracy theory you come across. Or you are liable to fall for a cult, some new religion, or get into a challenging mental health situation. Indeed, hope you will please consider this.
