A very well written article on why people so blindly believe that conspiracies cannot ever happen: https://off-guardian.org/2021/03/12/on-the-psychology-of-the-conspiracy-denier/
Of course, it does not say everything about everything, and one thing I feel it lacks is a discussion of crackpottery, maybe because proper description of this would be a long article.
Also, if you simply switch to embracing "conspiracy theories", there is a fair chance that you will get burned somehow, like lose face and then social position when telling others.
