Pretty Much the Weakest Argument Against Conspiracy Theories Ever

Pretty Much the Weakest Argument Against Conspiracy Theories Ever
AFngmnJ7rZU
Conspiracy Researchers studies Proven Conspiracy Facts and sometimes have "Theories" about KNOWN liars mixed with hard evidence of corruption, colluding, deceptions etc. To label some one "Conspiracy Theorists" is to FALSELY ASSUME that some one only cooks up "theories". This need to control the narrative by MSM is part of mass dumbing down of a nation!
.
Look up the word "Conspiracy" in any (LAW) Dictionary ... then ask yourself is that "science fiction"? ... When 2 or more people prepare to commit a crime or to do harm is that so "far fetched" ... what MSM tries to do is you to be associated with certain people that are FAR from being a true researchers or being an honest conspiracy analyst. The reason MSM never can share an honest representation of that what they attack is because they assume most will not verify their own sold claims & judgemental assumptions to them! So they count on you being lazy!


cheers.

It's clearly a coordinated effort to get people to react in the human groupthink mode of rejecting anyone who questions the status quo. If a person rejects the facts that are presented to them, or refuses to even examine the evidence but rather resorts to ad hominem attacks and other logical fallacies, then I figure the person needs to have some sort of life-changing event to even be willing to break out of the groupthink. I don't waste time with those people.

Wow! If stupidity can be as profound as wisdom, then the original TED talk is a treasure trove:

h-eQ2bR1HFk

This talk deserves to be widely quoted, parodied, set to rap music, incorporated into comedy club rants and disseminated ironically in what ever ways possible to demonstrate the lunacy and ridiculousness of the "Appeal to Authority" argument set forth by Quassim Cassam. Cassam is a Cambridge Professor of Philosophy, although his department should be Misology which is the hatred of reasoning, or the revulsion or distrust of logical debate, argumentation, or the Socratic method.

While part of me wants to laugh at the transparent idiocy of his talk (one can almost hear John Cleese repeating these statements in a slightly more thick British accent), it is saddening to see an audience of educated people applauding this buffonery as it were sane advice for a Democratic society.

From the Youtube comments on the TED talk video:



“I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.”
― Richard Feynman

[Kryztian]

Here are some other quotes to contrast from the lecture by Cambridge University Dept. of Misology Professor Quassim Cassam about authoritarian non-thinking:

“The best way to keep something bad from happening is to see it ahead of time... and you can't see it if you refuse to face the possibility.”
- - William S. Burroughs

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
- - George Orwell

We must accept our reality as vastly as we possibly can; everything, even the unprecedented, must be possible within it. This is in the end the only kind of courage that is required of us: the courage to face the strangest, most unusual, most inexplicable experiences that can meet us. - - Rainer Maria Rilke

In the end, we return to the question, just how much do you love truth? Do you really love truth or are you just curious? Do you love it enough to rebuild your understanding to conform to a reality that doesn’t fit your current beliefs, and doesn’t feel 120% happy? Do you love truth enough to continue seeking even when it hurts, when it reveals aspects of yourself (or human society, or the universe) that are shocking, complex and disturbing, or humbling, glorious and amazing – or even, when truth is far beyond human mind itself? Just how much do we love truth? It’s a good question to ask ourselves, I think. -- Scott Mandelker

The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent. - - J. Edgar Hoover

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
-- Aristotle

I would rather spend my life searching for the truth than rest a single day within the comfort of a lie. - - John Victor Ramses

“From a historical point of view, the only reality is that of conspiracy. Secrecy, wealth and independence add up to power. …Deception is the key element of warfare, (the tool of the power elites), and when winning is all that matters, the conventional morality held by ordinary people becomes an impediment. Secrecy stems from a pervasive and fundamental element of life in our world, that those who are at the top of the heap will always take whatever steps are necessary to maintain the status quo. The very label ‘conspiracy’ serves as an automatic dismissal, as though no one ever acts in secret. Let us bring some perspective and common sense to this issue. The United States comprises large organizations – corporations, bureaucracies, ‘interest groups,’ and the like – which are conspiratorial by nature. That is, they are hierarchical, their important decisions are made in secret by a few key decision-makers, and they are not above lying about their activities. Such is the nature of organizational behavior. ‘Conspiracy,’ in this key sense, is a way of life around the globe.“ -- Richard Dolan

“Destiny comes to those who listen and fate finds the rest.”
-- Unknown

A hypothesis is just a presumption, educated guess.
But a hypothesis becomes a theory when backed by some accepted views.
A theory becomes a fact if such views can be proven.

Those who still insist (the ilk of wikipedia writers) that conspiracies are just figments of imagination will never admit that conspiracies are real and are facts.

Gravity and evolution are both theories. But they are widely accepted and extremely useful and gravity has so many applications.

Dark matter is also a theoretical concept. Scientists routinely recalculate how much dark matter is in the universe and the numbers are readjusted by exponential ratios. Yet it is respected as reasonable and rational.

The term "conspiracy theorist" is itself a proven conspiracy. The CIA promoted the term "conspiracy theory," in the 1967 CIA Document 1035-960 entitled "Countering Criticism of the Warren Report," as a propaganda device for their media “assets” to use against the many people who rightly recognized the Warren Report, claiming a lone nut murdered President Kennedy, as a huge steaming pile.

Gravity exists in our 3D, although it cannot be explained how it works.
Evolution is a possibility, and through selective breeding you can create all manners of dogs, cats, and other animals, domestic and otherwise as well as plants without gene manipulation. But is it really evolution?

I know nothing about dark matter.

Yes, stigma is attached to the phrase "conspiracy theory" and it's not just in English.
You would be respected for being a "conspiracy theorist" as late as 1970s.
