I think it is important to understand how people get into that state of mind so we can prevent other people from falling to it and to hopefully help people out of it.
O I mean their specific conspiracy. Understanding why they fall into this thinking is important. Trying to understand the thinking itself is a waste of time. There’s always another explanation they come up with, regardless of any evidence to the contrary.
Like if you take them on a plane into the sky to see the curvature of the earth and fly them to the arctic to prove the world isn’t flat, they’ll tell you the plane itself is a simulation and what we see outside the windows is all a projection. Anyone who stops believing the earth is flat is assumed to have been compromised by the Illuminati. It’s not worth trying to figure out these claims.
Oh yeah, but sometimes getting them into that trap of spouting increasingly ridiculous nonsense can be a good way to make onlookers realise they’re full of shit. You won’t convince the conspiracy guy that they’re wrong, but you can convince other people to not take them seriously and stop this shit from spreading.
