Why do some conspiracy theories seem to have so much evidence to support them? Well, that’s because if you look hard enough at any event, and you don’t have any particular theory before you start looking, you’re eventually going to find something. And you’ll probably think that thing is AMAZING. This is what careful thinkers and researchers have to learn: if you’re going to find something truly amazing, you have to make your predictions FIRST. In this episode I talk about how we can be fooled by conspiracies.

October 17, 2019I find it interesting how people can research about the same thing but conclude differently. It was also interesting to learn that people will look for meanings to things that do not exist.

October 17, 2019It’s really interesting how people will actively look for things like these to pick up on, making a whole narrative out of something which can be completely irrelevant.

October 17, 2019What I find fascinating is that when people are desperate to find a conclusion or an answer to their question, they can and will find any details to try and defend what they think to be true. What’s funny is that when others try to do their own research on the same topic, they may end up finding a different conclusion.

October 17, 2019Very interesting on how people can jump onto a theory from small aspects which all coincidentally form evidence as to why it’s true, even when the reality of the situation is still more believable.

October 17, 2019I think it’s unusual that people have time to dig this deep into the lives of other people who they don’t even know, and find it sane to draw large conclusions from small, ambiguous details.
