Why do people believe what they believe? Slate is running a fascinating series that should help us understand not only the 9/11 conspiracy movement but also many other debunked but popular notions (birtherism, creationism, promotion/relegationism, etc.). If any paper is doing anything as vital as this series, please let me know.
