How do conspiracy theorists get all of their coveted secret government information if it's meant to be hidden and the government would never hand it over? - eviltoast

It’s a curious thing. I’m not dismissing any of their claims, but I find it a bit interesting that they can so easily uncover everything that the government doesn’t want you to know when it’s hidden for a reason.

    Believing in conspiracy and religion requires superstitious thinking instead of thinking scientifically and skeptically.

    We’ve all seen popular entertainment.where the protagonist connects seemingly unrelated clues to uncover the conspiracy (of course they’re always proven to be right by the end of the show 🙄)

    These unrelated clues could potentially be explained by a wild conspiracy. But they can always be explained in a hundred other, simpler, more plausible ways.

    Superstitious thinking aims to seek out any data to prove a theory… while throws away any data that doesn’t.

    Scientific thinking looks for the best theory to explain all the data and throws away those that don’t fit well.
