In part two of this two-part episode, hosts Aaron and Jessica dive into the psychology behind why people fall into conspiracy theories.

Exploring the inner workings of the human brain—from natural survival mechanisms and pattern recognition to confirmation bias, proportional bias, and cognitive dissonance—they examine how everyday psychological processes shape our beliefs, identities, and worldviews.

They also unpack real-world examples, including anti-vaccine perspectives, historical events, and distrust in public institutions, while offering practical insights on how to navigate these conversations with curiosity and empathy.
