I recently hosted historian and history teacher Sean Munger on my YouTube channel for a wide-ranging conversation about conspiracy theories in American history. While the interview is not exclusively focused on 9/11, it directly addresses the psychological and cultural mechanisms that lead people to believe fabricated or unsupported theories.
Throughout the discussion, we return several times to 9/11 conspiracy theories, using them as a case study to illustrate how distrust in institutions, oversimplification, and misinformation take root and spread. The conversation provides historical context that helps explain why such narratives persist long after official investigations and evidence are made public.
