Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78946344 less developed than a normal human? listen, you see those npc's walking around in public, they're not normal. so a conspiracy theorist is still more developed than an npc. Of course. For example, take X22. What intelligent person among us does not believe Dave and his conspiracy theory predictions? Maybe one of you conspiracy theory critical thinkers can answer a question for me: When is The Storm coming? |

They let others do that. The Turn the brain off TV on type folks. Sheeple who would still trust their government as their marched off, as their lined against a wall, only after they herd the ready aim fire, bang, and the felt searing pain! would they finally get it, lol |

It's the middle-of-the-road folks that tend to believe anything the TV tells. I'm sure you could write entire research papers on the socioeconomic and educational conditions that lead to this phenomenon. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83454436 In simple terms, I suspect that the lower IQ types lack the ability to firmly grasp the scale of the world around us - making conspiracy theories an easy-to-grasp concept. The higher IQ folks are likely driven to conspiracy theory because of the amount of easily-disproven bullshit and questionable conclusions drawn by leadership. |

The higher IQ folks are likely driven to conspiracy theory because of the amount of easily-disproven bullshit and questionable conclusions drawn by leadership. I agree with this from what I’ve seen. It is a normal curve with a two tailed test and distribution. Those who are not quick on the uptake, have found themselves needing to be naturally skeptical across the board based on some sense or recognition, that they are easily duped so it is a low risk strategy to remain skeptical of all things. Without a critical reasoning process that is reliable, it’s better to be a late innovator while brighter folks test the risks. The other tail is made up of those intellectually gifted plus well educated individuals trained in the humanities and the scientific method with enough accolades to develop a sense of having consistent reasoning ability. They are the true community influencers and their confidence in their process of logic and reasoning allows them to start at the, “Does this make sense to me?” Moment and extrapolate that reasoning forward as new details or hands are shown. In the middle are those who know they aren’t especially special and are frightened as hell at th3 possibility of being found out. As they know they are not smart influencers or stellar leaders, their next best option is to hide within the popular position so as not to be found out. Their best effort is spent at first staying under the umbrella of the steepest middle peak of the curve. As the game progresses, they spend their energies constantly repositioning in small increments, to stay under that canopy of respectability, careful to be not seen as beyond the line of those who would have compromised to the point of aiding, abetting or collaborating with those who had the anti-societal agenda to profit from the treasonous undermining of those friends and neighbors they need to shelter them from exposure. |
