RE: Was The Moon Landing Fake? Of Course It Was.
It seems to me that otherwise (potentially) reasonable people may learn about certain facts that seem outrageous. For example, I'd say our modern (US) monetary/debt system is just straight bonkers, which Jeff Berwick has correctly pointed out. For some, that gives him a degree of credibility.
They then just apply the fallacy that if someone has lied (particularly, about something large and important, and with a regular, concentrated campaign of disinformation) that everything they say must be a lie, no matter how ludicrous.
I don't know who or what to believe anymore, so I am a perpetual skeptic. I've noticed this really seems to annoy people, if you ask a question, it is often taken as personal attack.
Yeah, I wrote my essay "If not by state, then by church," and I noticed it could have annoyed a few people.
It's one of those things that a skeptic sees as obvious, but to a person who will end up actually falling for "the church," they will never see it or understand what I mean.
