Re: Do you think he even looks at his own sources?

...I believe that most who fall into that mindset are life's chronic losers who're looking for someone to blame for their own failures.

I think it might also be indicative of a certain boredom with the reality of their lives, so they embrace fantasy.

I've known two conspiracy nuts personally, and both were struggling with nasty inferiority issues as well. One of them finally went into therapy and is doing much better. I became kind of a resource person for him, someone he could talk to when he needed an ear to bend. Turns out there were some deep-seated family issues which had caused his life to come to a stand-still, and he latched onto conspiracy-theory basically in an attempt to find something he could muster some enthusiasm for.

The other fellow I've lost track of.
