Abstract
Psychological research has shown that some individuals are more affected than others by cognitive biases, which are systematic mistakes that humans make while reasoning or making predictions/choices. Specifically, some conspiracy studies have shown that people who are more prone to commit such errors are also more likely to believe conspiracy theories. If such mistakes are so commonly spread, then is it true that anyone can be a conspiracy theorist?
