So true, the whole conspiracy thing has kind of taken off since I was a kid. (1970's). We now have 9/11 truths, anti-vaxxers,, alien landings, flat-earth and so many more.
The interesting thing to my mid is that they all play on a form of religious belief. And that kind of informs my understanding of older beliefs too.
Evidence baby, Science, it works biatches.

Well, rationality needs to be demonstrated. Perhaps I should have said could be presented rationally and with good evidence. But i get your point, I think. I'm not too bright though, coz atheist.
Nothing about my own sense of spirituality asks me to abandon facts, evidence, or reason.
If it's atheism that makes a person dumb, you need to move over so I can sit there too.
