Might has something to with it being easier to come up with new crackpot theories than announcing policy changes. Kind of like "then debunk the conspiracy" does

Might has something to with it being easier to come up with new crackpot theories than announcing policy changes. Kind of like "then debunk the conspiracy" doesn't really work, since this requires a disproportional amount of effort. Society might be able to handle this additional effort in a "low noise" environment, but hardly when motivated actors got their foot in the door already.
- jshevek 6y agoYes, I agree. My point in that comment was not to debate the merits of a general policy vs specific policy, but to dispell the idea that the general policy would only be used for the specific case of corona virus and 5G. It seems that you agree.
- glenstein 6y ago>only be used for the specific case of corona virus and 5G. There's nothing in any of my comments that suggests the policy would only address the specific case of 5g.
- jshevek 6y agoThe technical correctness of your comment isn't of practical significance when you argue as follows: >The 99.99999% case scenario concerns videos that are saying '5g caused coronavirus', and meanwhile you're trying to tie up everybodies attention with special cases that don't represent the majority of cases. People get disoriented with special cases and trick questions.
- glenstein 6y agoThe example of 5g is used here to illustrate a whole vast range of conspiracy theories that can be expressed in nearly infinite permutations. If you really can't understand the role that the 5g example is playing to illustrate a class of examples and insist on arguing against just that example specially, you are completely, and boy do I mean completely missing the point and wasting both my time and yours.
