Since corona, conspiracy thinking seems to be contagious and becoming more and more normal. Yet one of the most prominent conspiracy theorists, George van Houts, believes that there is still too little room for theories about conspiracies. Politicians, scientists and journalists tar all conspiracies with the same brush and dismiss the thinker in advance as detached from reality. Talking about conspiracies is a waste of time, historian Maarten van Rossem objects. What you give attention to only grows. Should there be more room to counter further polarization or should we ignore conspiracy thinking? An evening, not about a conspiracy, but about conspiracy thinking in our society. Organized in collaboration with debate center Floor of the HvA. Speakers Theater maker George van Houts makes socially critical performances with De Verleiders. With the play Door de bankgenomen he embarrassed many a banker by highlighting the money creation by private banks and discussing this issue in the House of Representatives. In the solo theatre piece Kom Plot Van Houts doubts the official version of the attacks on 11 September. He outlines alternative stories about 9/11, including a premeditated plan by the American government to create a new enemy in the interests of the arms industry. Conspiracy thinking has generated a lot of backlash from Van Houts, which is why he now wonders whether the official versions may still be questioned and investigated to the core. Historian and television presenter Maarten van Rossem is a much sought-after American commentator and former special professor of Modern History. In his book, Waarom is de burger boos (2010) he attempted to answer the question of why more and more Dutch people see the government, the political system and the social elite as enemies? Van Rossem is known for his sobering and relativizing view of the world.
