Stephanie Murphy and Brian Sovryn are in the School Sucks studio for a free-form, extended discussion on the topic of conspiracy theories. In this first installment, we talk about - how were we introduced to the world of conspiracy? - was this introduction helpful? - the process of waking up, aligned with the 5 stages of grief - communication failure due to anger - are there some reasonable psychological generalizations of conspiracy theorists? - is that even a fair question? - Tim Melley: "agency panic" - too much individualism coupled with a sense of powerlessness - the problem with the psychologizing of conspiracy theorists - what is the emotional payoff of promoting liberty and/or conspiracy theories?
