Reseña del libro "Psychology of Conspiracy Theories (en Inglés)"

Dr Jesse James is a research psychologist. In this interview, he explores a psychological analysis of conspiracy theories surrounding the origins of polygamy in the Latter-day Saint movement, specifically the claim that Brigham Young, rather than Joseph Smith, introduced the practice. He argues that while real conspiracies occur, belief in unvalidated theories is often driven by "mind bugs" such as confirmation bias, proportionality bias, and a psychological need for certainty during times of fear. He contrasts the traditional narrative of secret practice under Smith with a skeptic narrative that posits a massive cover-up and forgery effort by Young to consolidate power. James highlights that skeptics frequently cherry-pick evidence, & ignore consistent private corroboration across antagonistic and friendly sources that implicate Smith. Ultimately, the discussion suggests that these theories offer simple explanations for complex historical figures and allow certain groups to preserve their ingroup identity by distancing the founding prophet from a controversial practice.
