E1 — Conspiracy Theories (with Keith Harris)
From JFK to 9/11 and QAnon, we all recognize the stories — but why do they come about in the first place? Are conspiracy theories simply attempts to make sense of big, chaotic events? Or do they reveal something deeper, like growing distrust in authorities?
This week, philosophers Cathy Mason (Central European University) and Fabio Lampert (University of Vienna) talk to Keith Harris (Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Vienna) and take us deep into the world of conspiracy theories: what are they, why do people believe in them (or are they just pretending?), and what can we do to best avoid falling into them?
Dive into belief, knowledge and the stories we choose to trust.
This episode was produced by Jason Means and edited by Anni Räty.
Music by Tuomo Tiisala and Gregor Greslehner.
Special thanks to Cathy Mason, Fabio Lampert, and Keith Harris.
