It's pretty expected for this to be the case, tbh. A heroic woman icon who emerged in the middle of an era of female independence, then conveniently disappeared a decade later? It's conspiracy fodder

not surprising, her story is pretty unbelievable, and she lived a decently long time ago. I wouldn't be surprised if kids doubt everything that happened pre-internet

its very difficult for me to process how you even begin to teach language to someone both deaf and blind, but I never once thought that she must just be fake somehow

like... she died within my parents lifetime, this isnt some ancient legend. obviously shes real.

Her name's not important, the story just doesn't add up. Like, if she could fly an airplane why did she have to spend years hiding from Nazis in an attic?

Considering the fact he disappeared after you said this, it is absolutely 100% what happened.

Either than or he believes the last four decades of Helen Keller's life were fabricated using a body double.

You deny the existence of Helen Keller truthers? Are you some kind of Helen Keller truther truther?

William Shakespeare didn't write his own works. They were all written by a secret other man who had the same name.

Also Socrates never existed.

For every accepted historical event, there is someone prepared to violently argue that that event was faked as part of a vast yet poorly defined conspiracy. Also, there is porn of it.

I'm really curious as to what specific mental deficiency all conspiracy theorists share?

Is it paranoia? A lack of critical thinking?

The curse of being human. Our brains have lots of pattern seeking software baked into the stock model. A dash of knowledge helps form an opinion about something that feels true so it could be true or must be true. Works great when determining if there is a lion in the bushes about to strike. Not so great when trying to prove the shape of the earth or the existence of supernatural phenomena.

I do think a general lack of any ability to judge and/or appropriately discard certain information is a common thread

"Critical thinking" is basically the term for it I suppose

I remember from as early as 2nd grade hearing teachers talk about "critical thinking", and for years it was nothing more than a nebulous term that was just synonymous with "being smart"

It wasn't until much later when I met people who clearly lacked critical thinking that I began to understand what it meant
