That looks like a fun article to tear apart, but even the term “Conspiracy theory” demonstrates a lack of thinking. What, are we to believe that people in power are incapable of conspiring? And theorizing about such conspiracy is somehow not analytical? Isn’t that what court prosecutors do for a living? Give me a break. The term is meant (Somehow) as a pejorative, but all it’s designed to do is deflect attention from criminal accountability of those in power.

I found a better article for you - it even outlines steps where you can improve your thinking and maybe stop falling for these conspiracy theories... There's a good lad. Everything will be ok!

Sorry mate... Studies have shown that people that believe in conspiracy theories are quite the opposite - they lack analytical thinking. I used to write systems for a living. You have to be very logical and analytical to do that. You have to be able to break down everything into logical steps.

I’ll look at that too, but again, you can’t just label any belief that goes against the official narrative as conspiracy theory and think they’re all equally ridiculous. Some are for sure, I’ll give you that. But that’s why I’m saying the term itself is dumb, as there is no analysts involved other than whether the belief is officially supported or not.
 
The funniest thing is when the supposed anti conspiracy crusaders come up with their own crazy conspiracies, like Russia is controlling the US President, or Russia is going to invade Europe, etc. Alot about Russia for that matter ?

Look I shouldn't mock people but I do tend to do it when I get attacked... In this place it's generally 3 against 1 (being me). So I have my back up automatically. I do think some of the views expressed here are extreme so I "have a go at them" so to speak. I think I'll take a holiday for a while because it's all ridiculous and a complete waste of time.

Yeah we’re probably not going to solve any of the worlds problems that’s for sure. It’s still entertaining and sometimes thought provoking. Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up, but hopefully you don’t take anything too seriously or personally. I think it’s cool to be able to argue with a dude on the bottom side of the spinning ball earth ??

The same garbage level studies that had you all masked up and supporting treating your countrymen like criminals for having a day at the beach. You are either drunk, dementiated, insane, or your koala brain is smooth as silk and can't process information on it's own. I personally think you are just koala brained, to your credit I guess?

You’re a very sick puppy. I hope you get better.

I’m trying to get to the study in question but it costs money. I’m really curious how they determined what is considered conspiracy theory and what their methodology was. Unfortunately it’s not as easy as taking some belief and then looking up a “fact check” and then concluding, “See, these people believe they are critical thinkers, but CNN proved them wrong” ?
 
In other words, it seems these folks need to adjudicate a contested belief in order to do the study, which would be “Begging the question” in philosophical terms. That wouldn’t surprise me, because academics are 90% retarded, sniveling, self-righteous midwits that really get off on thinking they know more than you.

And now I have you pegged as a snitch because you ratted last night when you couldn't control the conversation. You probably turned your neighbors in for not wearing masks during the pandemic and thought it was the right thing to do.

They presented 15 "conspiracy theories" to the test group. They don't even name them except one used for example:
"A powerful and secretive group, known as the New World Order, are planning to eventually rule the world through an autonomous world government, which would replace sovereign governments"
They then assigned ratings on "how false the conspiracy theories are"... assumingly by their own ratings, which is entirely subjective (in addition to just picking what constitutes a "conspiracy theory," which is also rather subjective these days.
In other words, this study is fucking retarded and makes zero sense, it's not even complete since they don't include what the "conspiracy theories" are.

Thanks, that doesn’t surprise me. Do you have the 2021 paper?

No doubt these same people will criticize the bible and christianity in general yet the bible revealed a coming one world government almost two thousand years ago. Of course they want to "debunk" it because their evil works are exposed by it. Why do you think they are flagging people for purchasing bibles right now? This is the system the koala supports but strangely claims he is a bible believer. All his beliefs contradict one another. He's not rational or sensible.
 
The funny thing is that now everyone is openly talking about a “New would order” and the need for centralized government (For pandemics and climate change of course).

I am not getting involved in you guy's little thing you have going on.

I am sure of one thing though. The quickest way to discredit something is to call it a conspiracy theory. The leftist media has been doing this for decades. It's the only play Killary has. " It was a right wing conspiracy".
