SLCW on Nostr: Theories that make sense to some aren't equal to objective evidence that supports ...
Theories that make sense to some aren't equal to objective evidence that supports every aspect of the situation. The problem with conspiritorial thinking is that it substitutes biased speculation for reason and empiricism, conflating the two as if they were both valid ways of arriving at the correct answer. And often times the conspiracy theorist believes their subjective conjecture is even better than objective facts. It's just not a good way of determining what's actually true.
