>>12084025
Yes
>>12084027
Yes but people who believe on conspiracy theories believe dumb shit without evidence

>>12084027
Which ones?

>>12084029
>study that uses the word "bullshit"
yeah, nah

Conspiracy theorists think that:
1)Government and elites do a lot of things we don't know about
2)We don't have enough information to fully understand what they do
and, as a bonus
3)Not everything they do is aimed at our benefit

If you don't believe in 1-2, you must be a megalomaniac, and if you don't believe in 3, you must be extremely good-natured and naive person.

>>12084076

/pol/'s motto is "its cool to be retarded" so why bother.

>>12084025
Yeah incredibly stupid, all information spoon fed to you is toootally the truth

>>12084117
Aren't you just being spoon fed alternative truth?

>>12084025
Depends on the conspiracy

>>12084032
people who talk shit about people talking actual conspiracies do so without evidence. You have no idea what evidence they have or whether they do not but it is 100% fact you don't. At least they can think for themselves while deniers are literally just NPC parroting a CIA meme for really stupid people to try and bully people who aren't stupid into conformity

>>12084079
What stupid uniformed people this is ridiculous and what well researched and informed people think is ridiculous are two different universes. "ridiculous" is entirely realitve to your level of intelligence and knowledge.;

There is no reason to believe there is isnt a secret space program, we may even have a moon base since the 70's and no one on this board would even know, no one out side of the most selective military personnel would know, yet if someone said this here dumb asses like you would say it is "ridiculous". Calling it ridiculous would be an indicator of your ignorance not the validity of the claim.

When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic. - James Dresden

>>12084025
"Conspiracy theory" is a term invented by the CIA to disparage and stigmatize political dissidents by painting anyone who questions official government/media narratives as deluded and illogical. Whether or not something is a "conspiracy theory" is in the eye of the beholder.

>>12084122
This.

Most people don't realize that stupid and ridiculous conspiracy theories are specifically conceived as to make the reasonable conspiracy theories look just as ridiculous

>>12084086
Then they are conspiracy theorists.

>>12084025
No. They're people who are more suspicious, more prone to infer intent, and more likely to see patterns (including spuriouss ones). That doesn't make them dumb.
Lots of conspiracy theorists are drooling fuckwits, but that doesn't distinguish them from the general population.

>>12084079
Yeah. Better to be safe than sorry

>>12084025
No, coincidence theorists are though

>>12084025
>believe
That would be the first unforced error, belief is unnecessary and only a hindrance in the realm of earthly ideas. Belief only belongs to the concept of the perfect omniscience or the one God.

>>12084263
I think it wise to consider that all forms of randomness in nature are but processes of complexity that one neglects to fathom. Everything happens for a reason, God does not play dice with the universe. If than, there is no true randomness, how can coincidence go unregarded in Gods great one verse, the universe?

>>12084025
Depends on how you measure stupidity. Schizophrenics will necessarily be utterly wrong quite often, since their brains are literally unable to process thoughts in a useful manner much of the time. Does that mean a person who starts to suffer from schizophrenia can't be smart as hell at time, or before he started going nuts?

All three points you made were true, but conspiracy theorists will often take them and extrapolate it to a ridiculous degree. And when they're presented with any amount of criticism they fall back on "hurr durr so you believe everything the government tells you? fucking idiot"

Is there even a scientific way to measure intelligence? The answer is no. Stop posting this pseudoscience garbage on /sci/.

>>12084025
Depends on the conspiracy

On average, definitely. /pol/ for example has a lower IQ than most domesticated animals. That doesn’t mean conspiracy theories are inherently wrong, just that people who believe in them tend to be intellectually disabled.

>>12084554
Take for example images like this, which all posters on /pol/ believe unquestioningly. But with an IQ of just 75, suspicion is raised and a person starts googling random names from the list, revealing that many of them are fabrications and there is no information on their religion available. Every single person on /pol/ is too stupid for such a thought to occur to them, meaning they are barely human. /pol/ is definitely less intelligent than the average conspiracy theorist, but not by much.

>>12084231
Conspiracy theorists don’t see patterns, it’s more like they don’t understand what patterns are to begin with.

>>12084730
Is it possible to say something this stupid and be intelligent? Based on various quotes from Henry Ford I’m convinced he was well below average intelligence.

>>12084956
Maybe they see more patterns than you.

Actually paranoia and patterns is necessary to invent a conspiracy theory.

>>12084025
Depends if you invented one or you're just blind follower.

>>12085013
Bullshit, you switch between them. If someone is ethnically jewish but raised Christian you call them Jewish. If they are not ethnically Jewish but converted to it or have a Jewish spouse, you still call them jewish. You pretend there are consistent rules in one argument when then contradict them in the next. /pol/ (and anti-jewish shills in general) lie more than anyone else in history by orders of magnitude.

Yes, but only intellectually. They can be smart in other ways, but stupid when it comes to putting 2 and 2 together

>>12085027
browsing this site has taught me that conspiracy pushers often don’t get the concept of a pattern.

for example if I search twitter for 1000 people of a certain ethnicity being pro-immigration, is that a pattern? everyone on pol would answer yes but no, even a particularly dumb baby should understand it isn’t.

>>12084554
/pol/'s favorite jews Joe rogan, ben shapiro and milo yannipolus are missing in this chart.
Also arent trump kids jews as well? Where are they?

>>12084554
always makes me laugh how Turner Broadcasting is owned by a white family but some lying incel still had this nerve to make this nonsense

>>12085122
if you examine a sample of 1000 people who are pushing immigration on twitter and find that a disproportionate number of them satisfy an unusual property, this would be a pattern

>>12085199
if the sample is completely random then it’s possible to reveal a pattern. there isn’t even one case among the thousands of /pol/images that fit the criteria however.

>>12085122

Just because people are "thinking for themselves" doesn't mean they're any good at it.
Just because a non-believer disagrees, doesn't mean they did not think for themselves.
The mainstream of both sides build their thoughts from information accessible to everyone, unless an individual from either side is privy to information the mainstream is not; which must be a minority, else that information is "available to all".
In essence, that "super secret" exposè or evidence forming the foundation of popular (or not) theories are available to all, suggesting ALL theories (conspiracy or not) are as valid as the next, even if the widely available evidence (relevant to whatever theory) is not addressed specifically.
So for the vast majority of everyone, it's just a matter of choice, reflecting less on the nature of total reality than the inner state of the ponderer.

Anything with more than several million dollars attached to it has a conspiracy behind it as well.

>You have no idea what evidence they have or whether they do not but it is 100% fact you don't.
I've talked about conspiracy theories with people before, and many had no evidence whatsoever. They essentially heard something and bought it hook, line, and sinker with no proof at all. Obviously conspiracies exist, but there's a certain type of person who believes there's a conspiracy behind everything, whether there's evidence to support them or not.

>>12084025
My mother was a computer programmer for 30 years and well above average intelligence, yet super buys into aliens, pizzagate, and Q anon. I'm also pretty sure she's an undiagnosed autistic, and fairly certain there's a massive prevalence of autism in conspiracy theory circles in general.

>>12085451
That would be a pretty rare case I imagine and that is more an indication of the kind of company you keep than people you call "conspiracy theorists". Anyone that believes anything without proof is an idiot, shit loads of which are on this board that beleive everything from zombie space jews to black holes and dark matter, being a conspiracy or not is inconsequential

Not quite. The conspiracy theorists are the ones throwing out bizarre unsubstantiated hyperbole theories like satanic child organ/adrenachrome-harvesting "deep state" murder cults. The rest of us just assume the normal shady shit like run of the mill kickbacks, corruption, underage teen sex-- i.e. the stuff everyone wants to do but doesn't because they have no money or power to get away with it-- happens behind closed doors, but don't jump to conclusions until real proof gets found out via whistleblowers and the like.

Skepticism can be a virtue. Just look at the amount of false shit people confidently say, and look how even academic fields can be controversial and constantly changing. Hell sometimes the system completely fails and we have shit like the reproducibility crisis which both shows how subtle some problems can be or how retarded trained researchers can be. For a more political side, well yes authorities have done some pretty horrible deceitful shit in the past. And yea politicians "lie" or heavily distort the truth for political pressure, so its not that far out to be skeptical about official sources. Worse when they have a chokehold on what is official documents. For example, China is well known to lie about many things, and journalists in their retarded tirade to make everything a partisan issue, just take WHOs word for it and criticism is just delusions. The problem is when a perfectly reasonable objection is used to justify an oposing view. Yea, being uneasy about China's data DOEST mean China must be inventing the data. Having doubts about the nature of a reform or bill doesn't mean it is blalant political lie for an ulterior motive. Nor having doubts about the foundations of an academic field means everything that has been done is invalid or that the experts have absolutely no insight to provide. I think the most extreme conpiracy theorists are these tards . But not taking all or msot things for granted doesn't seem stupid to me.

A conspiracy is an agreement or attempt by a group of people to commit a crime(s).

A theory is an attempt to explain something.

Therefore, by technical definition, conspiracy theory is the study of forensics and criminal law.

The secrets of the universe may be difficult to discover, but they do not ACTIVELY seek to cover their tracks, like criminals do.

the fact that so many people, even on /sci/ do not understand the definitions of the words they are using, and only have emotional knee jerk reactions to these words is a huge problem.

This does not necessarily prove that they are true, but that shows that they are not "batshit"

No because I have been dealing with you idiots for years and seen you use all of those techniques. It doesnt take a genius to see when someone is a disingenuous prick doing everything in the world possible to avoid answering a direct question. Not to mention I dated two bitches with BPD and studied cluster B personality disorders for years and know everything a person can do to avoid admitting the reality of the situation. A cluster B and a shill act exactly thing, they use all the same methods to derail a conversation and it becomes like second nature to instantly spot someone using these techniques.

Epstein's pedo island has been public knowledge for over a decade. He was arrested and convicted for it, even. Just sentenced to far less than he should've gotten.

There's no correlation between being rich/successful/involved in politics and being a pedophile. There's just, unfortunately, an ability for people in certain positions of power to be able to more easily get away with things for longer, like sex crimes and pedophilia. Same is true of Catholic priests etc. Ordinary people who are sex offenders just can't get away with that for long.

The batshit part is people who point to Epstein's 2019 arrest as some sort of vindication or evidence of anything related to Hillary Clinton, the Podestas, Comet Ping Pong, etc. That's the schizo aspect. The idea of a group of politicians being pedophiles isn't batshit, but believing some particular theory of a group of politicians being pedophiles is batshit if there's zero evidence of it beyond literal Pepe Silvia-tier infographics.

If you claim that "Hillarypodestas are pedos" may theoretically be true, but isn't, you can be correct (or not) and that can be discussed.
If you claim that elite pedos are BATSHIT INSANE SCHIZO CONSPIRACY THEORY and even considering such a theory is totally criminal, then Epstein fiasco certainly works against you (and such a degree of denial actually destroys your credibility).
