The conjecture for this essay is that there is a specific structure to conspiracy theories as closed representational mode of sensemaking. For example, conspiracy theories are irrefutable whereas theories about conspiracies fall apart when specific narrative elements are missing. The irrefutable nature of conspiracy theories means that conspiracy theories have a structure.The thesis I am forwarding is that conspiracy theories, like ideology, is a form of metaphysics.[Alexander gives this link at the top of the post. https://sulphuroxide.medium.com/conspiracy-theories-and-metaphysics-in-the-metamodern-era-89457343faf8 which links to Conspiracy Theories, Ideology, and Metaphysics in the Metamodern Era | by a lee | Feb, 2021 | Medium.]Posted in a Facebook group called Scientific Metamodernism. https://www.facebook.com/groups/scientificmetamodernism/permalink/1613525502178859/
