Myself and a mate were discussing folk who seem to get hooked, attracted by, or actively seek out conspiracy theories, trying to understand why they’re moths to a flame when it comes to a world of utter nonsense and he made a great point.
The truth is almost always very boring. Very mundane, and beige. Conspiracy theories are exciting, and they’re drawn away from the mundanity of the truth to the excitement of a concoction of mistruths, and inaccuracies and that he believes that it is an inability to accept, or a method of escape from the mundane.
