The Top 8 “Conspiracy Theories” That Are Turning Out To Be True
Conspiracy Theory:
It’s a term used by many to brush off something that clashes with what
they believe in, or have believed in for a long period of time.
Taking
in new information that runs counter to a current belief system is not
easy and can cause the feeling of cognitive dissonance – a term used in
modern psychology to describe the feeling of discomfort that arises
from being confronted with two or more conflicting ideas, beliefs, or
values.
It suggests that we have an inner drive to hold onto all of our
beliefs and attitudes, avoiding the feelings of discomfort and
instability that accompany new ideas, regardless of whether those ideas
are backed by evidence and sound logic.
