The difficulty he might have finding a body double means nothing to those convinced the real John Fetterman is somewhere in hiding.
How one answer this problem isn’t really important . The important question is how well one thinks one did on the test. People who report doing better are more likely to be conspiracists even though conspiracists are no better on the test than anyone else.What this suggests is that conspiracy believers have an inflated view of their cognitive abilities. That is, they are not just overconfident about their beliefs, but about their brain power.
Consistent with this — and in contrast to previous work showing that conspiracy believers have a strong need for uniqueness — we also found that conspiracy believers massively overestimate how much others agree with them. For example, we asked a group of participants if they believed the Sandy Hook false flag conspiracy popularized by Alex Jones. Only 8% of the people in our study said they believed it. However, that 8% estimated that 61% of others agreed with them.
The John Fetterman body-double conspiracy is a great example of this. The claim is so outlandish that it could easily be confused with satire. Yet, it is likely that some genuinely believe it. And they probably think that many others believe it as well. There is also a deep irony here. Those who label themselves as “critical freethinkers” are not only less analytic, but more overconfident. It is little wonder how conspiracies — such as the Fetterman body-double conspiracy — flourish and build up such a resistance to correction.
