À propos de cet audio
Conspiracy theories aren’t new, they’ve been with us since ancient times, morphing from whispered rumors into viral hashtags. In this episode of Deep Dives Rewired, Charlie and Laura explore the hidden psychology behind why people believe. From the allure of being part of an exclusive “in-the-know” group, to the rush of exposing supposed injustices, conspiracy thinking thrives because it speaks to deep human needs.
The conversation ranges from history to modern social media: medieval antisemitic tropes, flat Earth revival, secret elites, hidden ancient civilizations, and today’s political claims that ripple across feeds. Along the way, Charlie and Laura break down how misinformation spreads through cherry-picked data, why some demographics are more drawn to conspiracies than others, and what this obsession tells us about trust, power, and dissent in society.
