Let&#8217;s start with the basics. \u201cconspiracy\u201d Simply, it means a secret plan. You can\u2019t be a conspiracy theorist if you\u2019re quoting elaborate plans that are public. And unless you\u2019ve been living in a cave, you also know that secret plans exist. Conspiracies often refer to mafia hitlists, embezzlements, fraud, and other criminal activities. You might be able to do such things <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/sam-bankman-fried\/?sh=5330481b4449\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">do happen<\/a>You are able to know.<\/p>\n<p>Next, consider the term \u201ctheory\u201d Or \u201ctheorist\u201d As used in conspiracy. This would be relevant to the person who wonders if there\u2019s a nefarious plan in the works and is investigating. You can find legitimate careers in these fields. Actuaries <a href=\"https:\/\/covidactuaries.org\/2022\/01\/16\/assessing-excess-deaths\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dabble<\/a> They are, although they may not be aware of it. Detectives in law enforcement search for a motive in murder cases because it\u2019s their job to speculate in order to solve the case.<\/p>\n<p>None of the above are the first things that people think of when they hear the term \u201cconspiracy theorist.\u201d Rather, it\u2019s meant to invoke the image of a psychotic who is obsessed with an idea concocted out of whole cloth. Take, for example: \u201cthe guy at the corner hardware store has channeled Napoleon to send little men to live in our brains and program us into zombies!\u201d You could think of many other examples.
