What is your theory on conspiracy theorists?

I’m considering concocting a conspiracy theory about conspiracy theorists – I’m curious whether or not you have any opinions, input or theories about conspiracy theorists – whether you are one – whether you’ve been accused of being one & if so, why? – do you think that there’s a mental glitch in one of the mental switches of the average conspiracy theorist? How closely related are conspiracy theorists to those who are susceptible to falling into the mental/emotional/psychological traps of a cult? Is it just a matter of intelligence that determines whether or not those with a particular mental glitch will go the cult direction or the conspiracy direction? What say you on this topic?
