    There’s a process for ‘challenging facts’, it’s called the scientific method.

    What these people are doing is called the moronic method.

      But it’s so much easier if you just start with a conclusion instead of all the way back at observation. You don’t have to do any work for soundness at all, just ignore facts that disagree with what you want to believe.

        Sooo I’m a continuous improvement manager and work on process improvement, basically the scientific method for processes. The #1 rule I tell people when we sit down to tackle an issue is “The solution can’t be in the problem statement.” Then, they spend 5 days trying to challenge that rule instead of working with the observations and data.

        Sometimes people don’t have a conclusion, they just want a more entertaining explanation than reality.

      Conspiracy theories are so close to the scientific method. They’re looking at data, drawing conclusions from them. They can disagree with each other in a civil way like scientists do. These people aren’t dumb, it’s some kind of mental problem. I think it’s the same mental problem that can turn you into a sovcit if it happens in the legal field. These people need mental help

          The dead bodies were the people who knew too much and were “suicided” by the establishment to silence them.

          Remember that there’s always an explanation when you can just make stuff up as you go.

      Nah man, they are straight up wrong. I know for a fact it’s not for energy.

        The canopic jars are actually early battery designs. They were much more efficient than any batteries we have today - they produced almost unlimited energy and were very cheap and easy to make (just look at how many there are), but the government (which is secretly run by lizard people by the way, do your own research and educate yourself) covered it up and created the BURIAL CHAMBER MYTH to keep us reliant on fossil fuels.

      I wouldn’t even call this critical thinking as the commenter stated, “let them choose what they want to believe.” Sounds like someone picking their preferred religion not thinking critically and allowing evidence to guide their decision. Not to mention the whole aspect of the parental figure leading them astray from established fact in the first place and making them think these theories have any sort of legitimacy.

    I know Americans live in the land of the free and all, but this is legal? How is this not child abuse? When I was a kid, I remember my dad telling me that having the dome light on in the car was illegal, which I believed for YEARS. The children are going to be fucked. It’s like they don’t even want them to be contributing members of society.

      Or in other words, it’s to make sure that those kids stay in the cult of stupid. Ignorant and stupid people are easier to control, both by external grifters, but also by the parents.

        Go ahead and educate your kids with Technology Connections or something as a supplement to school, but goodness choose your own facts?!

        Amazing how you can mistreat your kids in all kinds of ways. Chain-smoke cigarettes next to their crib, homeschool them lies, inappropriate sexualization, constant screen time, physical punishment…

        It’s extra upsetting because they almost have a good point. It’s vitally important to teach kids to think critically and question things.

        …but this person is also “teaching” fantasy nonsense. They don’t have the critical thinking to impart on their child.

    My biology teacher and chemistry teacher were friends

    My biology teacher told us once that the Jewish government is trying to trick kids in schools from Romania to become trans to solve overpopulation by telling them to take a pill to look better

    My chemistry teacher told us once that the Egyptians advanced technologically much faster than the rest of the world(saying that there are phone drawings in the pyramids),but since they were isolated, all the technology got destroyed from a nuclear war(or the equivalent of that)

    Fortunately, no one was paying attention

    And then the peak reality denier roared over the din, “I’ve kept my child in the cellar since birth. Our curriculum consists of solipsism reinforcement and how to touch peoples’ eyes and white linen shirts after eating hot Cheetos.”
