Try talking to one my god it's impossible
The real question is why are there so many conspiracies.
What a snarky degenerate.
As if ppl never conspired in history while in powerful positions.
What an idiot.
You just can’t fathom because your head is in the sand with zero discernment
In the matter of JFK, I simply thought there was a conspiracy because it looked like he was being shot from the front. That was all. I didn't have any particular hatred of the government or anything like that. But then technology caught up. Yes, it IS possible to be hit from behind and your head snap backward in the direction of the bullet (of course don't forget he was wearing that back brace which probably contributed to the snap). But I was convinced of Oswald's guilt when I saw a simple image of him. He didn't looked scared or confused – he simply looked crazy and disturbed. So yes, it was possible that someone as bigger-than-life than JFK CAN be taken out by a simple good-for-nothing disturbed human being. But I for one was never really into conspiracy theories, so when 9/11 happened, I was not one of the people who immediately screamed THE GOVERNMENT. All evidence shows it was 20 or so Al-quada members and nothing more. No. The most suckered in I felt I was was in my early teens and believed there was a big 9 foot Hairy Ape-like creature roaming the woods of Northern California, Washington, and Oregon. But hey, I grew out of that.
You would be suprised how many sociology doctorates that live with their mothers hav youtube video blogs snotty smart assed fake accent he sucks wayyy too much
You are so dumb. To even use the term conspiracy theory. It is a Weaponized term canceling any. This idiot pointing the finger at people who rightly proclaim the moon landing Hoax as if they are off their rocker.
-Resting in the truth
It seems that we have either people who believe every conspiracy theory that comes along, or people who reject every conspiracy theory that comes along. OK so you acknowledge that there are some conspiracy facts such as Watergate and MK ultra dolling out acid to unsuspecting victims. But on the other hand, to believe that every single (would-be) assassin is a "lone nut" who is not working in conjunction with anybody else is also hard to believe. The Lincoln conspiracy being an exception. In the case of JFK, I'm satisfied that Oswald was the only shooter, but until the files re: the relationship between Oswald and the CIA are released in 2029, I find it hard to believe that there was no conspiracy behind the JFK assassination.
What's more, even if it was proven that there were other snipers at the grassy Knoll? (GK) It still would not prove a conspiracy since it was broadcast by the newspapers exactly where and when Kennedy would be passing by. It could very well have been two separate assassination parties who never knew each other. It's just that Oswald beat the GK shooter(s) to the punch.
The phenomenon where the brain tends to believe everything it is told, including lies, can be understood through several psychological and neurological concepts:
1. Cognitive Heuristics and Biases:
Truth Bias: Humans have a natural tendency to believe that others are telling the truth. This is known as truth bias and is a default position for most people because it is generally adaptive in social contexts.
Confirmation Bias: People tend to favor information that confirms their preexisting beliefs or values, and they disregard information that contradicts them. This makes them more likely to believe statements that align with their views.
Anchoring Effect: Once people hear information, it becomes an anchor for their thinking, making them more likely to believe subsequent information that is consistent with that anchor.
2. Neurobiology of Belief:
Prefrontal Cortex: This area of the brain is involved in critical thinking and skepticism. If it is underdeveloped or not fully engaged, a person might be more gullible.
Dopamine System: The brain’s reward system, which is heavily influenced by dopamine, can reinforce beliefs. When people accept information, especially if it aligns with their desires or expectations, it can release dopamine, reinforcing the belief.
3. Social and Developmental Factors:
Social Influence: Humans are social creatures, and they tend to conform to the beliefs of those around them. Authority figures, peer groups, and cultural norms can heavily influence an individual's beliefs.
Childhood Development: During childhood, individuals are particularly susceptible to believing what they are told by trusted figures (like parents and teachers). These early experiences can shape how they process information later in life.
4. Psychological Defense Mechanisms:
Cognitive Dissonance: When people are presented with information that contradicts their beliefs, they may experience discomfort (cognitive dissonance). To reduce this discomfort, they might unconsciously reject the new information or rationalize the belief, even if it's a lie.
Illusory Truth Effect: Repeated exposure to a statement can increase its perceived truthfulness. Even if a statement is false, hearing it multiple times can make it seem more believable.
5. Evolutionary Perspective:
Survival Mechanisms: From an evolutionary standpoint, it can be beneficial to believe and trust information from others, especially within one's social group, as it fosters cooperation and social cohesion, which are essential for survival.
6. Emotional Factors:
Fear and Anxiety: Fear and anxiety can make people more likely to accept false information, especially if it offers a sense of certainty or security in uncertain situations.
Desire for Meaning: Humans have a strong desire to make sense of the world. When presented with simple explanations or narratives, even if they are false, people might believe them to avoid the discomfort of uncertainty.
Understanding these mechanisms helps explain why people sometimes believe lies and false information, highlighting the complex interplay between cognitive processes, brain functions, social influences, and emotional factors.
First, define conspiracy, then theories. There's your answer
The question would rather be: why do so many people laugh off facts as "conspiracy theories"?
This guy speaking here is "already off" on what he's explaining in his video, He doesn't have a background in health and healing and he says sentences that promote toxic injections into the body, The thing is I have 33 years experience in health and healing this guy doesn't really understand what he's interjecting into this little conversation he's having with the camera, although some of what he says could be correct, He is blabbing about things that he truly doesn't have true knowledge in.
We just had an eclipse and its incredible how many people believe it was all a show set up by NASA lol .
I was a 911 truther for a week. Then I watched debunking videos about 911 conspiracy and felt like an idiot after. Makes tons of sense when the gaps are explained. Never again trusting or following a conspiracy theory. Always listen to the debunking side.
Grand conspiracy, Youtube does not allow to close your display unless premium, because they have struck a major deal with energy companies, because you gotta recharge your phone without premium more, with display eating most of the battery. NOW TALK!
Why we believe in conspiracy theories? because it’s easier.
This is exactly backwards. Conspiracy theories do not make people less likely to believe the intelligentsia. It is the complete disenfranchisement of the people by the intelligentsia that makes them lack trust in them and turn to conspiracy theories for answers as to why they can never seem to win. You have zero influence over people who don’t believe you value them and feel no connection with you. When people feel heard, they feel loved. And when they feel loved by someone, they trust that someone.
One of my favorite sayings that I think fits here…
"If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.
We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us.
It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken.
Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
~Carl Sagan
Pattern recognition is innate in humans, but some people excel at detecting and interpreting them better than others. For ex. pattern recognition is often used to come up with a hypothesis, predict an outcome and later confirm it via evidence. I would say conspiracy theorists that lack discernment are bad at it. Hence the correlation causation fallacy.
Its a hassle when they believe it without valid proof and jump from one subject to other subjects but the most frustrating things is when they start to have anxiety or panick shopping even to the extent they spent lots of money base on that belief it will hv a negative effect on they daily life
There is a conspiracy “pattern” – a group of angry children telling you not to believe anything Mommy, or Daddy tell you because they weren't honest growing up and the establishment never protected them. If they say round, we say flat, If they say moon we say buffoon, if they say masks, we say no, if they say peace, let’s just go.
These comments make me lose all faith in humanity
Ooh I know the likely culprit!…
Because some of them are NOT theories, but actual realities.
Theory doesn't mean false or a fascade. It stays a Theory until the herd majority realize it's true, then in becomes a fact. And instead of ridiculing the peoples saying it's truth the flock start ridiculing the people who continue denying it.. but when they accepted it as true didn't make it the truth, it was still true even when NO-ONE was speaking it.
As a mathematician, I've got pretty crazy pattern perception. At the best of times, bathroom tiles are kinda trippy. When I'm deep in research mode, faults in brick walls seem to have patterns. I'm so glad my parents raised me with decent critical thinking because otherwise, I'd be a complete wingnut. As it is, I just see patterns in my friends' behaviours and convince myself they hate me, lol.
The conspiracy theorists are often right: WMDs, Tonkin Gulf, Gain of Function research in Wuhan, Hunter Biden laptop, Clinton campaign planting the Russia Collusion hoax… I could go on. So why do I believe conspiracies occur? For one think, power is sufficiently centralized for it to be possible. For another, it's a matter of meticulously examining the facts. There's plenty of evidence, for example, that catastrophic anthropogenic global warming is a much overblown crisis. These conspiracies must be examined on a case by case basis. When someone automatically rejects a theory as a "conspiracy theory", leaving it at that, that person hasn't given it due consideration.
BLAHH BLAHH BLAHH…..
A – b/c MOST of them are TRUE 🙂
I think he hit the nail on the head with our human need for "certainty". We don't like not knowing something. We think we should be capable of understanding everything. When we run up against that brick wall of "not knowing", we just make something up we can all agree on. Sometimes that's a conspiracy theory, sometimes it's just doctrine like the earth is the center of the universe and everything revolves around it (including the sun). Or for that matter, what happens after death? We can't know, so we create all manor of religions that claim to have the answer. For me, it's all the same spectrum and all the variation is just different frequencies along the same arc.
That guy is dumb as a bag of dildos.area51 is hiding ufos aliens and no telling what all
Because people are f'n stupid, despite their own self-deception.
Typical Trumpers are southern , rural Bible thumpers. Not the brightest folks in the United States .
Because most people are stupid mother fuckers.
