Topic	How do yoh rehabilitate a conspiracy theorist?
Kyuubi4269 05/17/22 6:27:08 PM #15:	BlackScythe0 posted... 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. 16th Ammendment says they can, it doesn't say a private corporation can do it on their behalf, however the IRS themselves do have a citation of a supreme court decision that does allow the IRS to act on the Treasury's behalf. BlackScythe0 posted... 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? By having information that effects loose ends of their theory. It's the kind of thing that leads to religious zealots becoming disillusioned. But as with everything, the person requires a reason to stop. If a person is happy with the conclusion they have, the truth isn't useful to them. BlackScythe0 posted... 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? Hmm, I wonder why conspiracy theorists don't listen to you when you're so level-headed and open-minded. Surely they would be impressed by your compassionate approach to conflict. --- Doctor Foxx posted...
