What? This belongs far down in conspiracy nonsense, if you can believe or even think along these lines you need help. You have to wonder sometimes what happened to logical thinking in America? I have fun with satire and the comics exaggerate for effect, but when did Americans become so dumb they believe the likes of Alex Jones, Limbaugh, National Inquirer, and even Fox? Or even the empty promises of our President today? You know the best healthcare and cheaper baloney? Where is Mom when the child needs help? Calling all moms buy your children books they need help.
"I want to argue for something which is controversial, although I believe that it is also intuitive and commonsensical. My claim is this: Oliver [ average conspiracy thinker] believes what he does because that is the kind of thinker he is or, to put it more bluntly, because there is something wrong with how he thinks. The problem with conspiracy theorists is not, as the US legal scholar Cass Sunstein argues, that they have little relevant information. The key to what they end up believing is how they interpret and respond to the vast quantities of relevant information at their disposal. I want to suggest that this is fundamentally a question of the way they are. Oliver isn’t mad (or at least, he needn’t be). Nevertheless, his beliefs about 9/11 are the result of the peculiarities of his intellectual constitution – in a word, of his intellectual character."
