Conspiracy Theorists and Monological Belief Systems, Part 2: Social Scientists and Double Standards
Part 2 of a 2-part podcast series, based on the article: "Conspiracy Theorists and Monological Belief Systems" (Argumenta 2018), by Kurtis Hagen https://www.argumenta.org/article/conspiracy-theorists-monological-belief-systems-special-issue/ ABSTRACT of Article: Recent scholarship has claimed to show that conspiracy theorists are prone to simultaneously believe mutually contradictory conspiracy theories, as well as believe entirely made up conspiracy theories. The authors of those studies suggest that this supports the notion that conspiracy theories operate within “monological belief systems”, in which conspiracy theorists find support for conspiratorial beliefs in other conspiratorial beliefs, or in related generalizations, rather than in eviden...

Is the Mainstream Media Reliable Regarding Conspiracy Theories? Part 2: Contingencies, Conflicts of Interest, and Toxic Truths (a further response to Keith Harris)
This is the second part of a three-part series on the reliability of the media regarding conspiracy theories. This episode is based on material taken from an article entitled, “Is Conspiracy Theorizing Really Epistemically Problematic?” published in the journal Episteme in 2020, by Kurtis Hagen, which is a response to an article by philosopher Keith Harris. The discussion of the media’s reliability is somewhat tangential to the main argument of the article, having been included there in order to address the concerns of a reviewer who seemed to share Harris’s optimistic view. In this podcast version, some of the mate...

Is Conspiracy Theorizing Really Epistemically Problematic? A Response to Harris’s Probabilistic Modus Tollens Argument.
This is a modified portion of an article entitled, “Is Conspiracy Theorizing Really Epistemically Problematic?” published in the journal Episteme in 2020, by Kurtis Hagen. That article is a response to a set of critiques of conspiracy theorizing put forward by philosopher Keith Harris. This podcast episode focuses on just one of those critiques. Namely, Harris argues that conspiracy theorizing problematically relies on a probabilistic version of a formal argument structure known as “modus tollens.” Hagen argues that Harris's critique fails to show that there is anything epistemically problematic in conspiracy theorizing.

Do Conspiracies Tend to Fail? Part I: General Considerations
This two-part series is a modified reading of parts of an article titled, “Do Conspiracies Tend to Fail? Philosophical Reflections on a Poorly Supported Academic Meme,” which was published in the journal Episteme, in 2022, by Kurtis Hagen. Abstract of the article: Critics of conspiracy theories often charge that such theories are implausible because conspiracies of the kind they allege tend to fail. Thus, according to these critics, conspiracy theories that have been around for a while would have been, in all likelihood, already exposed if they had been real. So, they reason, they probably are not. In this...

Are Conspiracy Theories So Unlikely to be True? A Critique of Quassim Cassam’s Concept of Conspiracy Theories
This is an abbreviated, and slightly modified, reading of the article, “Are ‘Conspiracy Theories’ So Unlikely to be True? A Critique of Quassim Cassam’s Concept of ‘Conspiracy Theories’,” published in the journal Social Epistemology in 2022, by Kurtis Hagen. ABSTRACT: The philosopher Quassim Cassam has described a concept called “Conspiracy Theories” (capitalized) that includes several “special features” that distinguish such theories from other theories positing conspiracies. Conspiracy Theories, he argues, are unlikely to be true. Indeed, he implies that they are, as a class of ideas, so unlikely to be true that we are justified in responding to them by criticizing...
