Questions:

1. What conspiracy theories are you familiar with? How many of the theories in the videos have you heard of before?

2. Have you ever believed any conspiracy theories? If so, have you stopped? What made you stop?

3. Do you know any conspiracy theorists? What do you think makes them the way they are?

4. Are conspiracy theories inherently dangerous? Should we work harder to disprove them?

5. Have conspiracy theories become more common? Why do you think so (or not)?

6. Some conspiracies are true, even though we only find out years later. But some are proven definitely false. Should we always reserve judgment until all possible information is available?

7. If you could send a conspiracy theory into the world, what would it be?
