Conspiracy:You Be the Judge

.... ALWAYS!

From Truthstream Media: "Pretty Much the Weakest Argument Against Conspiracy Theories Ever"

  • If there’s one good thing about this TED “talk” we came across, where an Oxford-trained decades-long philosophy professor attempts to explain (complete with an appeal to authority, rule by experts twinge) why conspiracy theories are bad because they “disappear our knowledge”… well, it’s that it is proof the system must be getting desperate.
  • Hands down, by far and away this has got to be the WEAKEST argument against conspiracy theories we have ever heard.

And it boils down to an appeal to authority.

Which would necessitate the BELIEF (not the reality, of course,) just the BELIEF that
1- authority figures don't get anything wrong and they never lie either

2- authority figures aren't advancing agendas that we know nothing about and they like it that way

3- authority figures are the gods of knowledge

and this guy is a philosopher?!
