I guess I'm just blown away because if you look at this stuff with even an average IQ of 90 your going to realize what crap this is, yet people still intentionally spread it and even worse, some believe it.

It's not that simple - people were driven into this black-and-white conspiracy thinking by a decades of disrespect to science and rational arguments used by politicians and various activists who used them for their short-term gain without thinking about long-term consequences.

Last century saw this retreat from reason in the form of "Hegelian bite", then communism, then postmodernism and two world wars on the way.

Very curious what we'll have!
