I'm sorry, but your clarifying statement left me even more uncertain about your message. I think we'll just have to leave it, the comparison of any party in a discussion to moon landing conspiracy theorists pretty much shuts down the conversation in a Godwin like fashion.
- kbenson 10y agoI think you really are misinterpreting me. I wasn't using belief of the moon landing hoax in a terribly disparaging way, and I wasn't comparing a single party of a discussion to people with that belief, but multiple people from both sides (if you think I was taking a side, I urge you to re-read my comments considering that I most definitely am not). That doesn't make them stupid, it just means they have a narrative that they believe, and are invested in, and that makes certain ideas that others would consider not worth considering much more likely to be true in their eyes. Everyone does this, some of us have a narrative that's more likely to match with reality in some instances than others, but by the nature of the problem it's very hard to know if that applies to yourself.
