Every political or socio-political phenomenon requires a store of knowledge to understand and analyze it, Man is naturally inclined to simplify and resist what is new, because the new may undermine the behavior of minds that have been accustomed to a certain cognitive pattern, such as superstition, for a long time, Superstition has become part of the characteristics of these minds, which are surprised by the new in a moment of time, confusing and distressing them and causing them fear and panic, especially when these minds are settled on taking a medicine that is claimed to be suitable for all times and every disease, Conspiracy is a broad-spectrum medicine with its effects on every disaster, shortcoming or problem,Conspiracy is an expression of the presence of strong hidden hands lurking for the afflicted or defeated, The drug of conspiracy is delicious, comforting and reduces the feeling of failure and helplessness, because those hidden hands are strong on the one hand, and evil on the other hand, and no moral deterrent prevents them from committing evil!
Conspiracy is very convenient because it attributes the causes of disasters to the evil of others, without touching or doubting oneself, Those who arm themselves with the weapon of conspiracy rely on the characteristic of “denial” known in psychology, which means the unwillingness to face the truth, because the truth is wounding to the narcissistic self, Denying relative truth is tantamount to denying the existence of the disease that is projected onto hidden hands, This means that the one who denies relative truths is at least morally superior to the malicious, evil, lying, thieving person,The wronged denier is innocent of all these atrocities, Those who arm themselves with conspiracy protect themselves from self-criticism and place before their eyes and mind a dam to prevent the shocking truth from leaking into them, The dam prevents the discovery of the real conspiracies that human history truly knows, It is circumventing reality and ignoring or being ignorant. It is a self-conspiracy that leads to failure after failure and disaster after disaster.
Conspiracy is the exchange of false or erroneous news, rumors, explanations and justifications. Therefore, conspiracy thinking is considered a means of misinformation, as major events are linked to small justifications that contradict reality and logic, Conspiracy theorists know this very well, so they refrain from delving into evidence,Conspiracy is like a supernatural religion, which proves the validity of its positions with evidence from its texts, i.e., its own creation, It is like the Creator who proves the validity of his views and instructions by what he is said to have revealed to his prophets and messengers, Here, it can be said that the conspiracy hypothesis is a conspiracy in itself, Conspiracy is no more believable than the imaginations of a storyteller, emotional outbursts, or even a psychological illness such as delusional neurosis, Conspiracy theorizing has nothing to do with intelligence or stupidity.
It is noticeable that there are many conspiracy theorists among many religious theorists, especially those who follow the islam religion, who talk for example about the hateful West that conspires against the believers, their countries, their happiness and their wealth, The conspiring West works behind the scenes, so it does not see any need to prove that it is hiding behind the scenes, because the conspiracy hypothesis is a theory proven without evidence!!!!!
There are many reasons for the continued failure of some peoples in this era, one of the most important of which is the epidemic of “conspiracy” discourse, which has swept the minds of large groups of people, All developments that they go through must answer the question of how to confront the phenomenon of morbid conspiracy thinking, The answer can be summed up by devoting critical thinking and then objectively searching for evidence,Critical thinking requires analysis and balanced logic and not accepting or rejecting anything without evidence, that is, not relying on religion and faith, because religion and faith do not work with external, objective, rational proof, Religion regurgitates evidence from itself and tries to prove the validity of its positions with its own verses that it created and did not import from a confirmed source, because the unseen is not confirmed at all! This region is subject, according to the popular and authoritarian mood, to a single pattern that can be summed up by dividing the players on the scene into active and passive. The active party has a hidden agenda and possesses the will and ability to act, while the other party lacks the will and ability to do anything. It is deprived of will and effectiveness…absolutely passive!
