An extended Hat of Woo if you like, but for this podcast extra episode we dip our hands back into the festering corners of Paul's hat to take a look at the root causes and the psychology of belief in conspiracy theories.
Not why are they wrong but why do humans believe in conspiracy theories at all?
Do we shoot ourselves in the foot through our educational policies and methods of teaching?
Are we just hardwired to believe in falsehoods, whether more elaborate or more simple than the truth?
