4. Over Glorification
Once someone has decided that they will believe in something with little to no critical proof, they can get out of bounds pretty quick. Have you noticed now people have tried to explain the unexplainable to them at that time by making stories about fierce gods, mythical creatures and forces which move the air and clouds but then it turned out to be the difference in atmospheric pressure? In the same way, pathological conspiracy theorists just let their imagination run free and find their truth in whatever legend they choose to believe in. There are some conspiracies which sound very likely to be true and some which have been proven but most we know and follow nowadays are way more decorated than they should be.
