Not my favorite but one I wished went away but never will. The idea that the government is hiding information about aliens. Even the fact that people think that they exist irks me. There has been zero evidence but as soon as people find a situation they can't quickly explain it becomes a case where it must have been created by extraterrestrials. What's truly frustrating is that even some of the most learned scientist have fallen in to this trap.
- version_five 4y agoI have a certain respect for the old "innocent" conspiracies like aliens or the moon landing, even the flat earth if it counts. They are mostly imo just intellectual exercises in make-believing what would have to be true for the "conspiracy" to hold. Now "conspiracy theory" is mostly used as an insult or strawman for political reasons to dismiss things that go against orthodoxy. Microchips and space lasers and whatever, maybe someone somewhere believe in that stuff but way more people bring them out cancel dissent. Way less interesting than scrutinizing the moon landing footage
