Conspiracy theories often thrive when people feel uncertain or mistrust official explanations. They offer alternative narratives that seem to “connect the dots,” especially during complex events like political scandals, public health crises, or celebrity deaths. Humans naturally look for patterns, and when clear answers are missing, these theories can feel strangely satisfying or even comforting.
Pop culture and the internet also play big roles. TV shows, movies, and viral videos can blur the line between fiction and fact, making wild claims feel more believable. While some theories are harmless fun, it’s wise to fact-check and stay curious rather than cynical.
