Conspiracists Study Nebulous Realities, Then Insist Their Interpretation Of "The Clouds" Is TRUE

moon landing hoax
Alan: Conspiracists have inordinate fondness for minutiae -- and exceedingly dubious minutiae at that!

They are so mypopic that they continually "lose sight of the forest for the trees."

Or, more accurately, conspiracists anchor themselves in such minutet details that they "lose sight of the forest" for one deformed stoma on a single leaf of a towering oak in the world's largest forest.

Yes, minute details sometimes reveal crucialevidence.

But when the details that conspiracists seize upon bear such remarkable resemblance to Rorschach tests (while "the preponderance of evidence" clearly indicates that Adam Lanza killed two dozen kids at Sandy Hook Elementary School), then the clouds of doubt (that can always be conjured by scrupulous examination of the endless details comprising any large event) look very cloudy indeed.

Not surprisingly -- and revealingly -- there is hot debate among conspiracists themselves as to "what" any purported conspiracy is actually about.

Conspiracists represent a psychological type that is easily enthralled by "absolute certainty." 

And because conspiracists are predisposed to "believe" --- note that the internet is crawling with "crisis-actor interpretations" within hours of every school shooting --- they are prone to focus "low-bar evidence" - much of it photographic, a domain that invites manipulation.

Then, conspiracists liberally lard their dubious evidence with innuendo, "skewed significance," credal conviction, and -- after a final appeal to "confirmation bias" -- they easily ignore, contradict or pooh-pooh any conspiratorial theory whose argument contradicts their own.

From two personal relationships with conspiracists I know that almost all the "evidence" they present -- while having a certain conjectual plausibility -- would not be admitted in a court-of-law. 

In effect, conspiracists -- and the like-minded individuals who confirm their biases -- comprise their own judge, jury and evidence-review-board. 

Not only are conspiracists "at home" with this interlocking psychological arrangement, their ferocious absolutism -- exercised infinitely more often than popes invoke infallibility -- persuades them that those who disagree are gullible individuals who refuse to "look at the evidence," or, conspiracists resort to their trusty default, alleging that non-believers have been deluded by the clever wiles of The Deep State.

At bottom, conspiracists CAN NOT believe anything other than what their pscyhological need obliges them to believe and end up as minor "cretion deities" who want to "control the whole show" by (re)inventing it.

(Note that the original moon landing was a hoax staged in a "Utah" studio, but a few decades later NASA is clever enough to establish a human colony on Mars. A child slave colony!?!)
