"Quassim Cassam, a professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick, has launched a new study into what makes people believe in certain theories – and why such theories could push people to extremes such as joining Isis.
He believes that some people are more vulnerable to “intellectual vices” such as dogmatism, gullibility and close mindedness and this in turn makes them more likely to listen to extreme "alternative" sources of information."
You its the most close minded people who listen to non-mainstream theories and viewpoints, and gullibility is a measure of not being willing to take things at face value and without investigation?
Yeah, tin foil hats for everyone.
