RE: The Sky Is Falling: Conspiracy Gospel, Cognitive Bias, And The Battle Of The Mind...

in #blog7 years ago

While this post is fairly long and well written, it seems to insinuate that all conspiracy theories are untrue. Yet the closest examples used are Y2K and 2012. You mention GMOs, fluoride, etc. So you're saying concerns of fluoride and GMOs are like concerns about Y2K and GMOs? Wow! Talk about cognitive bias. Look, whoever was concerned about Y2K or 2012 was an idiot. Don't lump them into the category of being a paranoid conspiracy theorists. It actually is possible to think outside the box without being paranoid.

You act like everything is perfect, and we the mainstream narrative tells us all we need to know, while some are delluded doomsdayers lol. There's lots of reason for concern and the mainstream isn't giving any answers. For example:

  • autism rates have skyrocketed and still climbing
  • we've eroded the topsoil to the point of there barely being anything left
  • we can't breathe without inhaling toxins, including mercury
  • the oceans are polluted
  • we have a revolving door between the corporations that are harming us and regulatory agencies that are supposed to be protecting us from those corporations
  • 1 in 6 kids have a developmental disability
  • we're seeing childhood cancers that didn't exist a short time ago

We don't have to wait for the sky to fall some day in the future. It's falling now! These things aren't theories. These are facts. And you want to discourage people from researching and talking about things outside of the mainstream narrative, which is mostly propaganda and brainless nonsense?

The vaccine schedule has never been tested!
GMOs weren't tested before introduced to the food supply.
Fluoride isn't tested for toxicology, though it's extremely toxic.

But don't worry folks, we can trust the government. We're all so sure of it we don't even need them to study these things for safety. All these new diseases are genetic. The media wouldn't lie to us.

And as far as economic collapse, you're going to be eating your words when it does. We're close too.

We need people to be allowed to think freely. Too many people already take the info they're spoonfed. Maybe some time show us how conspiracy theories are wrong, instead of merely implying they're wrong.

Well I guess that just proves every single conspiracy theory correct then. Case closed.

Oh sorry, @rok-sivante. I was deliberately not replying to you because I actually agreed with some of what you said and had no desire to get into an argument. But @arevolution made so many points I also agreed with, I thought I'd talk to him direct in the comments. Peace. It's a tough area.

T'is indeed...
