Conspiracy theories

There is a big difference between believing the police DNA database will grow to include most people in the UK and believing that Covid-19 testing is an attempt to build a super secret database behind our backs.

One is cynical and quite probably right, the other is just silly. This thread is for silliness.

if its silly dont bother posting I dont suppose any one will give a wat sit tbh :LOL:

imo u are part of some type of conspiracy any way ;)

Carl Sagan says it very Well
THE DRAGON IN MY GARAGE.


As an example of skeptical thinking, Sagan offers a story concerning a fire-breathing dragon who lives in his garage. When he persuades a rational, open-minded visitor to meet the dragon, the visitor remarks that they are unable to see the creature. Sagan replies that he "neglected to mention that she's an invisible dragon". The visitor suggests spreading flour on the floor so that the creature's footprints might be seen, which Sagan says is a good idea, "but this dragon floats in the air". When the visitor considers using an infra-red camera to view the creature's invisible fire, Sagan explains that her fire is heatless. He continues to counter every proposed physical test with a reason why the test will not work.

Sagan concludes by asking: "Now what's the difference between an invisible, incorporeal, floating dragon who spits heatless fire and no dragon at all? If there's no way to disprove my contention, no conceivable experiment that would count against it, what does it mean to say that my dragon exists? Your inability to invalidate my hypothesis is not at all the same thing as proving it true."

The same reasoning behind the flying spaghetti monster...

And of course billions around the world have been indoctrinated to believe in an imaginary friend, and many go to war over it or are controlled by it (n)

Thus religion is the biggest conspiracy theory around!

Somebody once pointed out that people who believe conspiracy theories don't just believe one or two - they believe every one that comes out.
