What made you change your mind?
#1
What made you change your mind?
I am working on a research dealing with pseudoscience and conspiracy theories (yes, religion too). The goal is to find out what factors play the key role in deconversion from such ideas.

If you ever believed in any form of conspiracies or pseudosciences, but dropped your beliefs eventually, what was it that made you change your views? What groups of people or specific media or anything else influenced your transition?

I am also interested whether any kind of ridicule / poking fun / comedy or calls for self-deprecation played any role?

Yes I did. I thought it would get attention from other members in this specific part of the forum. I'm sorry if I'm making unwanted duplicate.

By the way, thanks for your reply, Lutrinae!
