i read a study today that found that people who believe experts, who have studied subjects intensely over decades, do not have any actual expertise in subjects any more than someone who just read about it on /pol, that such people who believe experts and non-experts the same about a subject are more prone to conspiracy theories. what do you think about that?
also what do you think about the conspiracy theory that all conspiracy theories that are correct and there actually is a conspiracy afoot with them are taken down by the government? that we're really just left with the wrong ones.
