Conspiracy theorists = your brain is broken..
 

I've been saying this all along, people who are heavy into conspiracy theories and relgious nonsense have broken brains.

https://www.inverse.com/article/3746...ern-perception

Not that it's not obvious by their ramblings but now science has shown it to be true.

The condition is called "illusory pattern perception". It's a interesting read, explain s the Onewebcam and wehateporns of gfy to a T.

There is hope for them though.. It's called critical thinking. If they can learn to do it, they can overcome their brain's malfunction. Meaning if they put effort into helping themselves they can fix their illness.

This is true. Ever notice most conspiracy nuts never buy into one or 2 conspiracies, they always go the full gamut from moon landings, to sandyhook , chemtrails, 9/11 etc...

The easiest thing to do is blame some world conspiracy for your failures in life -- if you actually believe that conspiracy stuff :2 cents:

or your brain is a wrong way

There are certain conspiracies that I think the average person can fall for and I believe it's normal. Like JFK assassination for example. We see the obvious that it was Lee Harvey but there is so much drama and secrecy around that event it's easy to think there is a cover up.

Then there is shit like MK ultra and agent orange or the military testing on blacks in the 50s and 60s. All shit that really happened and was the govt trying to hide it.

However things like 911, truthers, moon landings just using critical thinking allows a normal person to understand that it would be impossible to cover up the scope of those sort of events.

The problem is with events like 911 there are still unknowns. Could our govt have known more than they let on.. Sure. Did the Saudis help fund it? Maybe..

Did ninjas sneak in and plant explosives to blow up the buildings? Of course not..

The problem is, the conspiracy nutters can't see the difference in what might be plasable and what isn't.

Good article; however, pattern recognition evolved for a reason. Just as allergies are an overblown immune response, a useful trait that can, when overindulged, be malignant.

Some strange theories, of whom many were initially skeptical, have been proven to be true. For instance, Thomas Jefferson on meteors, "I would rather believe two Yankee professors would lie, than that stones have fallen from the heavens."

Also Antoine Lavoisier (a great chemist who discovered the composition of air, and combustion theory.) He investigated a meteorite fall, and after careful chemical analysis came to the conclusion that it was just an Earth rock that had been struck by lightning. His report contained the line "A stone cannot fall from the sky; there are no stones in the sky."

Also, let's be honest, OP is a rank partisan, so for him labeling something a conspiracy is a silencing technique. Everything that supports his team is truth, and what doesn't is fabrication.

Belief in man made climate change, rather than its denial, would be a better candidate as a conspiracy theory, since it relies on uncertain measurements to posit a global crisis. The "pattern" of warming has been disproven even by its original backers, who now espouse simply "change".

Take the JFK conspiracy stuff -- would any of that really effect you day-to-day life -- either way? Hard to tell -- the what if world is not the real world.

Some things like the faked moon landing are just so off the wall -- sounds like a Russian Commie Plot :laughing-

The History of Russian Involvement in America's Race Wars

From propaganda posters to Facebook ads, 80-plus years of Russian meddling.

Maybe not so funny?

i tend to agree to a point. Someone who is into all conspiracies is surely a bit too easily swayed to have a solid understanding of anything.

However, there are some things that have went on in our recent history that surely need more light to be put on them.

What is funny is when you read that article, you read a lot of the extreme left's philosophy in it:

Free speech is bad, America isn't free for people of color, founders are evil, socialism is good, it's all right there. I guess the extreme left has a close cooperation with Russia working, they both want the same thing.

The conspiracy theorists keep getting proven right time and time again, this is more low quality politically motivated science

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

All I know is "illusory pattern perception" is awesome with Pink Floyd.

But that is not actually true.

You are deluded.

Name one of the classic conspiracy theories that has been proven to be true ?

Not something that is ?proven? in your head. One of the main regular Elvis is alive/moon landings are fake/911 was an inside job/vaccinations are actually evil/Lizzards control the world etc.

Name one of these, that has been proved beyond doubt and now officially accepted.

(Funny how they all come about in the last few years......)

Isn't this illusory pattern perception phenomenom itself perceiving a pattern where there might not be? What if conspiracy theory deniers are themselves succumbing to the syndrome the paper describes? Are conspiracy deniers covered in the study?

:D

It's good to question things when they need to be questioned. The problem is now we question everything.

A good example of this is Benghazi. This was a terrorist attack; There was no wrong doing on anyone's part. You can only prepare so much for a terrorist attack in a foreign country. Short of stationing a few thousand Marines there.... There isn't much anyone could have done.

Everyone should blindly trust their government and big industry :upsidedow

No, everyone should look at the evidence.

:2 cents:

WOW, since when did you become a conspiracy theorist, welcome to the team. We look at evidence, everyone else follows narratives fed via the mainstream media

#WeHateBrokenBrains

Debunking conspiracies is itself a massive conspiracy.
Didn't you get the memo?

Again, black and white reasoning without any regard for sane people who can think for themselves and base their opinion on facts from history: Not everything your government tells you is true. Two proven 'conspiracies' with huge devastating effects on humanity:

- Gulf of tonkin: Vietnam war -> Tons of lives destroyed
- The WMD lie: Invade Iraq -> Whole middle east destroyed -> Tons of deaths -> Terrorism -> Biggest migrant crisis in modern history.

These are really big things that have changed the whole world after, and they were started with a huge lie as an excuse to do it. Apparently everyone already forgot and thinks it's normal to trust anything the government says, despite facts proving the opposite.

You can twist anything any way you want ...

The Soviets were not socialists in the Marxist sense they were the new Bolshevik Communist Czars -- the boss men selected by the party elite. That is not socialism.

The only thing I thought unbalanced in that article was much of this was in response to US propaganda directed at Soviet Russia. Radio Free Europe, Joseph McCarthy's anti-American inquisitions, an endless stream of US American meddling in Russian affairs also.

Maybe, I am more objective and that is why I dismiss most of this CT crap as bullshit or just in amusement.

I saw that article in that unstated way as being relevant -- how to mind-fuck a naive public. That is free thought. Feel free to label that any way you want because I wont give a fuck. Empirical evidence is by definition conclusive and rarely found to explain everything.

Burning the dead didn't stop the black plague.

None of your ?conspiracies? above are of the type being discussed.

They are however the same tired events that the believers trot out to claim that governments have lied in the past therefore my argument about 911/UFOs/Chemtrails etc must be true.

However a real conspiracy with bad actors, government collusion, vast sums of money , big business etc really is taking place as we speak. Only recently has it been illuded to here - and not I might add by the usual suspects, the conspiracy warriors.

Big pharma, with govt collusion, is peddling opioids on a vast scale to the population of the US.

That is a conspiracy and a scandal.

Just to get you started

Jesus, another one posting stories of shit things that governments have done - therefore my wacky illuminati/911/fake moon landings are true.

Again - WHP claimed that ?the conspiracy theorists keep getting proved right? insinuating that all the shit you dolts believe is being proved to be fact, when actually it is not.

Posting links about the Gulf of Tomkin does not mean that 911 was an inside job. Saying that Nixon lied does not mean that QE2 and the Rothchilds are leaders of the Lizzard people.

Grow the fuck up.

Honestly, my own conspiracy theory is Russia has pushed the fake moon landings nonsense since the cold war because we beat them.

I think that was their 1st successful ploy at pushing fake conspiracies and they just perfected it over time to take advantage of mentally challenged people in the US like we saw in this last election.

You are just trying to make excuses because your team is full of fruitcakes. For man made global warming to be faked, it would require govts and tens of thousands of people across the world to be in on it..

Basic critical thinking allows you to understand this couldn't happen in a million years..

The only legitimate conspiracy theory I've ever seen proven true, is that the govt was tapping everyones phones and that keywords set it off.

I heard that one back in the 90's but who knows if it wasn't just a case of life imitating art as I don't think we had the tech to do it back then.

I'll give the nutters that one, but honestly I think it actually started much later than the theories. It was just something that was gonna happen due to tech advances.

Kinda like Star Trek predicted cell phones...

No, we don't just blindly trust govt and big companies because they do what's in their best interest. However that doesn't mean every mass shooting is some false flag event or that moon landings were faked...

Claiming that because someone believes 9/11 was inside job that they also believe in lizard people is about as stupid as one can get.

9/11 will eventually be admitted just like Gulf of Tonkin. Hopefully right after the CIA files show the missing pieces that Bush Sr was in fact working for the CIA running the Bay of Pigs Op off his Zapata Oil platform. . Which to date people such as yourself claim isn't so even though it is publicly admitted via other releases https://whowhatwhy.org/2007/01/07/ci...r-oil-venture/

I deal with facts. Not alien lizard people. And not made up factless stories by the government and/or MSM

Spreading/believing the factless "Trump/Russia Collusion" story when a Democrat IT worker was transferring terabytes of data out of Congress is a "conspiracy theory" while the later is fact.

Spreading/believing the factless "Trump/Russia Collusion" story while Obama was covering up bribery plots and Hillary's foundation is getting large sums of cash is a "conspiracy theory" while the later is fact.

Spreading/believing the factless "Trump/Russia Collusion" story while everyone involved with the Uranium One deal is pushing it and/or investigating it is "conspiracy theory" and the later is fact

See how that works? Now lets see your facts....

CT nutters will be nutters ...

In a world where fake news and outright lies are no longer illegal, unethical or immoral should lead to an environment where everything is neither believed nor proven.

Fun times, aren't they?

the problem with conspiracy theorists is they seek out any source that will back up what they want to believe and anything disagreeing with it is MSM/fake news/etc. if you believe 911 was an 'inside job' then you must believe most terrorist attacks are.

If the terrorists were living on (insert government) military bases and training before doing said (insert country) terrorist attack then yes.

"Three of the alleged hijackers listed their address on drivers licenses and car registrations as the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla.-known as the "Cradle of U.S. Navy Aviation," according to a high-ranking U.S. Navy source."

Alleged Hijackers May Have Trained At U.S. Bases

You stopped reading -- forged documents are never used?
You so sure there was no renegade Saudi ex military collusion?

That is a speculative story in the fog of confusion right after the 9/11 event at best ... If it was about Trump you would be screaming it is FALSE NEWS! Somehow when it supports your CT story "it must be real."

Exactly what BlackCrayon says;
You guys are fucking nuts seeking attention.

I take it you don't do much business with anyone from a Muslim country? I do pretty much at least once a week. Real face to face business not internet shit. But truth be told it's like dealing with a scammer online. I have one regular customer that goes by about 5 different names and/or variations. Half the time I'm not even sure what to call him. I'm not even sure he remembers who he is the other half. I've done business with him for years and never really got a straight answer to his actual name.

It's not at all surprising there are different variations. In fact Osama's real name was Usama ibn Mohammed ibn Awad ibn Ladin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osama_bin_Laden

Also wouldn't surprise me if they killed "Osama" (the name) and Usama is sipping margaritas on a private island somewhere. Tossed him overboard? LMFAO

Going to the local beer and cigarette store and talking to the Indian guy behind the counter isn't really doing business.

I have a real business and I'd say 50+% of my clients are Middle Eastern. I've had prayers go down in my warehouse on more than one occasion. One time during a delivery they tried to get me to wait until after prayer and I told them they better find someone not so religious real quick or I'm dropping your shit in the parking lot. I got my way. :1orglaugh I don't really talk to people behind counters enough to know their names. That is unless they are the owners and we've done business before.

To be fair, if a christian or whatever brings up religion during a business transaction there's a good chance no business will be done. Especially if I'm the one buying. These holy rollers mixing business and religion will fuck you in a heartbeat.

Conspiracy theory and supernatural phenomenon shouldn't be lumped together. The label of Conspiracy Theorist is something that is used frequently to discredit anyone that is releasing information that another group doesn't want released. It was one of the KGB's/CIA's top tactics for information control. There have been numerous "conspiracy theories" that have actually turned out to be completely true but because of the stigma behind the label people ignore it.

We live in a very fickle society that ignores facts or evidence and instead just judges based on peer pressure. People very rarely actually look at the data instead relying on those kinds of terms to dictate their feelings. The term can be extremely detrimental to people especially anyone who attempts to whistle-blow their company or government. Just take for example Gustl Mollath who attempted to shine light on suspicious activities at a certain bank that had massive criminal implications, of which his ex-wife was involved. He was labeled a conspiracy theorist after attempting to bring attention to it after which his exwife accused him of assault and thanks to his conspiracy label as well as money/pressure from the bank he was accusing, he was found guilty but then put into a mental hospital. He languished there for 6+ years complaining about a massive conspiracy to discredit him and hide criminal activities, until in 2012 it turned out his claims were completely true. It's not that i'm saying conspiracies are all correct, it's that the label itself is one of the most powerful ways to control information and to prevent people from listening to those trying to whistle-blow. Should just never jump to accept the label instead at least look into what is being claimed so as to never let yourself fall under mob mentality.

I agree but i'm sure some conspiracies are true, even if they are not big and crazy as people describe.

Is this is a conspiracy to discredit the whistle blower?

Conspiracies never happen guys, nothing to see here :upsidedow

Communist Romania in 1977 over 30,000 miners went on strike, majority of its leaders died of cancer in following years. It was revealed Government had doctors give strike leaders 5 minute X-rays to ensure development of cancer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolae_Ceau%C8%99escu

Again posting something that a govt did once does not turn your weird ramblings into fact.

No one is saying that shit things dont happen - but we are saying is that you idiots dont just believe one of the conspiracies because there is actually some compelling evidence - no you fuckwits believe them all, you are hardwired to believe crazy shit.

No one is saying it is impossible for a govt or company to behave inappropriately - but that does not mean that the Twin Towers were destroyed by a govt backed controlled demolition, and the plane that struck the Pentagon was actually a cruise missile.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

but 1000's of architects and engineers speaking out saying it was controlled demolitions, that is what wakes people up out of their slumber

Oh you mean normal people? yes, that is how they run a study, with comparison...

denial is pretty strong around here apparently.

It comes down to this folks:

If you believe your Government (or ANY Gov't) is telling the truth then you are, in a word, a moron.

If I thought of politics as a team sport, my team would be the democrats, Davey, and we do want people like you out. You aren't a democrat, you're an anarchist with a lot of time on his hands. I don't say that as an insult, but you should admit what you are.

true but if you believe nearly every tragic event is done purposely by the government in an attempt to control the people you are probably suffering from some kind of mental illness.
