I loved the recent one about alternative theories to the Big Bang when she says that if another theory makes things more complicated without any new evidence, then it's not scientific.

Oh, I don't know, you're a racist and don't like Indians? But maybe - maybe! - because they still let them scam their own people, apparently, even after being served evidence on a silver platter.

It found that conspiracies rely on other conspiracies as "evidence," jumping around different topics, less coherently than mainstream texts, but relying on a web of interconnected ideas to connect the dots. So... basically then it's a giant circle jerk. 2 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
