RE: Four reasons why people believe in conspiracy theories
"But research has been thin on precisely why some have a conspiratorial dispensation."
This statement strikes me as odd. Because it could mistakenly read as asking why 'some' people have a dispensation toward conspiring. The author probably didn't intend for this question to be asked but if we ask this question and come to a consensus on an acceptable answer it seems to make answering the intended question seem almost trivial.
Why do some people have a dispensation to conspire? Love, money, power, or more generally, for personal gain.
Why do some people have a dispensation to "believe" in conspiracy theories? Because "some" people have a dispensation to conspire.
For love, money, and power.
