Sometimes it's OK to say, "I don't know."
The term conspiracy theorist is used to denote some idea that is irrational. Yet we're regularly challenged to redefine what is rational. It's not hard to come up with examples of things which were commonly accepted as conspiracy theories, which are now accepted as fact by most people.
Thus it's probably more prudent to accept one's own ignorance of the situation, and await more information before calling anything a conspiracy theory.
- wallace_f 10y agoYes, exactly. >Yet we're regularly challenged to redefine what is rational. It's not hard to come up with examples of things which were commonly accepted as conspiracy theories, which are now accepted as fact by most people. It is really frustrating to witness people throw the 'conspiracy theorist' derision around so liberally when we know the above is true.
