Interesting reel, orignal title The conspiracy mindset isn’t that mysterious from Author Jason K Pargin exploring why evolution might have favored people who believe lies over truth.
Here's a lie Author Jason K Pargin seems to believe, that “believing in anything unseen or invisible” as functionally identical to “believing a lie.” The soldier example is great — it shows how a fabricated worldview can create tactical advantage. But lumping that in with every belief about things we can’t directly perceive is sloppy. I can’t see infrared, I can’t detect gravity waves, I can’t perceive most of the electromagnetic spectrum — none of that makes those things propaganda or delusion. There’s a difference between limits of human perception and manufactured falsehoods. Blurring that line weakens the argument instead of strengthening it.
