Sometimes im just astonished by how out there some conspiracy theories are... like not landing on the moon, I guess i can get that cause we are so far removed from it and there isnt any good way to verify it personally... its all trust...
But flat earthers and stuff like that... i just cant get how someone can be that level of stupid...
Apparently it is a conspiracy theory (at least with one person) that nukes dont actually exist and were never used. I mean... i could build you a geiger counter from scratch, i could literally prove nuclear fission with very little parts... how can this stuff even be doubted?

I remember listening to some of Shermer’s lectures and then paying attention to some of the weird shit people believe. Some are definitely in the ‘I can’t believe my what my ears are hearing right now’ department.
@Darkayne I am pretty sure like 90% of conspiracy theoriests, maybe more, are just paranoid schizophrenics and just arent capable of functional thought... i just cant explain it any other way... otherwise how do they feed themselves!
@freemo
It also doesn’t help many grew up watching the Discovery channel to further fortify their believe in “Ancient Aliens”
Yea that channel did soooo much harm.
Thi g is when i was younger i was into it and it was good for me as it gave me a "what if" mentality. I was mature enough to know it was speculative despite being sold as fact...
Despite that seems it was quite a bit more harmful for others it seems
@freemo
People think it's rather weird, considering what the show itself, but The X-Files is what created my skeptical mindset every night. I knew aliens or shapeshifters were bullshit but it was the way Scully and Mulder worked together. Two parties that seldom see eye to eye still getting shit done.
