You give them the means to find out and leave them to do it. If they're just having fun with the idea of conspiracies then they don't have any need to find out, if they genuinely believe it then they'll do their research and due to not having it forced on them, be able to trust the conclusions, and you for not forcing them. If they have further beliefs, this can be done ad nauseum until reality looks most likely.

Eh? What do you mean by "the means to find out"? Because I work with several conspiracy theorists and they all believe they have done exhaustive research and know the truth. It's not like I haven't tried one day a guy tells me all about how the IRS is a private corporation which is unconstitutional and how we don't actually have to pay taxes. So I fucking research it. 16th amendment I tell him about it next time I see him and he stops talking to me.

They already think they've found out, how do you give someone the means to find out when they already have the means to find out?

But it's you, so I'm pretty sure you're not talking about how to help conspiracy theorists as you're on the conspiracy theorist side of the aisle. So are you suggesting a method to teach people who perceive reality how to stop doing so?
