The whole mass spying seemed like a conspiracy theory to most of us just few years ago.
- krapp 12y agoThe fact alone that a particular conspiracy theory turned out to be true doesn't automatically lend credence to others.
- njharman 12y agoYes it does. People dismiss conspiracy theories cause they're unbelievable. When previously unbelievable becomes true it lifts bar of unbelievable. Previous conspiracy theories now become possible even probable scenarios we must guard against.
- krapp 12y agoI don't think it does. People dismiss conspiracy theories because they're unbelievable and exist without any evidence to support them. The set of 'previous conspiracy theories' encompasses literally every assertion every paranoid has ever made about their government.
