Why are stupid people so susceptible to conspiracy theories ?

I don't think it's stupidity. It satisfies a psychological need. I used to think it was a need to find order where there wasn't any. Now I think the psychological need is more personal. To have information that others do not, to understand what others are unable to. It is a way of gaining control. At least in one's mind.
