Garland discusses the place that nonconformist thinking—including "conspiracy theorists"— have in a healthy society, especially as it relates to the questioning of narratives and concepts bolstering a particular social arrangement or ruling class, and the reasons why the term has become a way for the establishment to denigrate and contain such individuals, thereby preserving the status quo and normalcy. Examined questions: who has the right to revise the laws? Social deviancy. Conspiracy theorists. The nature of mainstream beliefs. The role of media. Collective belief system organised by the ruling class. The problem of heretics and the threat to established power, and their right to rule, to decide what is true and false, etc. Free thinking can quickly destabilise such a system, with onerous consequences for those at the top.
