We offer a few handy strategies:. Fire back with an even weirder theory of your own. When Ted claims that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dead and the person posing as the beloved supreme court justice is actually a body double, nod vigorously. Then, slowly pulling a tinfoil hat from your pocket, reveal that it all goes further: the body double is actually Tupac, who embraced the moniker Notorious RBG as a peace offering to his former rival.
None of this came as a surprise to you, of course, because everyone involved was a known lizard person, which, if you think about it, explains how aliens from Roswell killed JFK and faked the moon landing.
Keep pushing until your uncle excuses himself in a moment of deep self-reflection. The former secretary of state is the Rome of conspiracy theories: all roads lead to her. Begin dispensing cryptic messages yourself. Set up an online account under a pseudonym, and begin issuing a slow drip of accurate messages to distract the conspiracy-minded from their favorite nonsense. They are literally left, right and centre.
Why do so many people believe? One reason, say psychologists, is that it is perfectly reasonable, because conspiracies sometimes happen. Conspiracy theories also reflect how we intuitively understand the world and events in it. The human brain did not evolve to process complex information about global politics, economics or science. It evolved to survive on the African savannah where threats and hostile intentions were a daily reality.
The cost of holding these assumptions was minimal, but the cost of not holding them was often death. Natural selection favoured the conspiratorial mindset. Our brains have other cognitive biases that make us susceptible to conspiracy theories. One is proportionality bias , a belief that major events have major causes. Intentionality bias makes us assume that events are planned by somebody or something.
For those of you that have never looked at engines or braking or any physics involved with descent or ascent, if you have an object that weighs around lbs you need a rocket engine that produces more than this to slow it down as mass moving requires more energy to slow.
No atmosphere so no braking of any sort other than the rocket engine. Google test firing of rockets and you can even see them testing the LM descent stage Rockets in a vacuum and it shows a very nice exhaust trail.
But the less intelligent a person the more gullible and less inquisitive they are. Lucky we had intelligent people in the sciences or we would still be in caves wondering why God is throwing lightning bolts at us in a storm, or why the Volcano God is mad at us even though we threw a few nice Virgins into the thing. What do you think inventors and scientists do? Are they not intelligent as they question and pick apart every thing another scientist tells them to try and prove them wrong or right.
I would say this was a reactionary piece, and he got his reaction, everyone knows the first thing we are taught is to question everything, what does a two or three year old say when you tell them something?
Why of course lol. Why would it be built into us at such an early age to ask questions if all we are meant to do is take everything for granted on what we are told. The books have been changed many times since I went to Primary School 60 years ago.
How on Earth can you work at a profession and become an expert and then hear someone say something you know for a fact is wrong and then not say something. Then because it goes against something like the Moon landings of course you then have to be wrong and a Conspiracy theorist. The whole premise of this article is highly educated equates to high intelligence. Whereas accepting the accepted story relies on a large degree of cognitive dissonance an indicator of low intelligence but found in a lot of educated people.
There is a valid theory that education is merely indoctrination with a certain narrative, education is no precursor to thinking. Only a fool would be happy with the official story. How amusing. I have an IQ of and am a member of Mensa and am a conspiracy realist as I have lived through many of the experiences people write about. Does that make me less educated? Oh, by the way. I hold a first class honours degree also. I think there maybe a conspiracy abroad here……….
Intelligence has nothing to do with gullibility, just because you have a high I. Q and was tested by the Companies I have done work for as the job I did required a high I.
Q as well as very high logic skills. I was booted from Religious instructions as a 6 year old for asking questions and was made to sit in the library instead during those lessons which I was very happy to do as I read every book in the school library rather than wasted time on myth being treated as real.
I never take anything as gospel and question everything as I like to learn. How can you say you have a high I. Q and then believe everything you are told, what a crock. The CIA coined the term conspiracy to stop gullible people like yourself from looking at anything they wanted kept secret or from people delving to much into them. Seems to work for you, oh and by the way I have a really nice Bridge for sale would you be interested? Exactly Fiona, how can anyone that says they are intelligent just believe on faith, I always told my children I would believe anything they told me up to the point I catch them in a lie, I always told them, never lie to me, for one I will know and secondly you will lose my trust.
I am a Photographic expert, I repaired film,photos and glass plate negatives for the Government as well as three Universities. It is one of the harder problems to repair, If you look at the Soviets Moon images you will understand why, look at older Military spy images before they worked out how to do it correctly as well. Most experts agree that Regolith on the Moon at 15 feet thick would be sufficient to protect man on the Moon. One simple other thing was the TV camera they sent on the Lander was a Westinghouse 20fps camera, how did we get back 24fps video from this?
I am not saying you cant convert said video to any FPS you like, the film will only have the 20fps original data to use and there for a 24fps copy would have 4 of the frames duplicated, there are no duplicates, how did they get the extra data?
Film and Photos are one thing you can not BS to me. The biggest problem now is they lost all the original video as well as all the photos and telemetry data? I was also alive and well listening to Von Braun and Van Allen talking about the problems of the crater the Lander could fall into from the rocket exhaust to the worries of the radiation in the VABs.
Van Allen sent a Rocket into space and found the VABs and the Geiger counter he sent with the rocket registered a maximum reading, he then shielded the second geiger counter to be able to with stand the maximum reading and it to came back at maximum. Even with shielding enough to handle the maximum on a Geiger counter they still got enough to kill humans in a matter of hours.
Show the shielding they ended up using for the Astronauts suits or the Command module or Lander? Why is it no one does any tests in our modern era to show how safe the VABs are? This stigmatizing of individual thought worries me. As a highly educated person I do not dispute the need for vaccinations and the fact that it planet is a sphere.
To not question for example the facts of , the implausible way that attack was carried out is irresponsible. If you are referring to the studies that indicate educated people are less likely to be religious- then yes, you are correct that the uneducated are more susceptible to conspiracies. To be intelligent is to be comfortable not knowing. Scepticism is one of the best qualities you can instil in students. It leads to questioning the status quo, to thinking out of the box and reaching their own conclusions based on what they have learnt.
Education comes as a standard package for all of us. It is our unique interpretation of it that drives evolution and change. One of the biggest false flags in modern history, if not the biggest. Secret societies exist, and the biggest enemy of any empire like the U.
From within. Education is indoctrination, which is to program young minds over time according to the predetermined desires of those masterminding the curiculum. And no, the education system never was hijacked by anyone, that is the intended purpose of education. It was invented for that purpose. Mass mind control. The more educated you are, the more programmed you are.
See, that term has been programmed into them as being synonymous with untrue. Those with high intelligence yet not highly educated are not as likely to dismiss the possible and obvious truths about the world. But the evil geniuses are well aware of the intelligence of the free human mind and know how to string them along with false conspiracies that are partly or mostly true.
Give me a break! They will sadly find out one day the joke was on them! Like this: Like Loading By Christian Jarrett. Skeptic I would suggest a little cognitive dissonance is at play here Loading
