RE: Steemians, do you think it's worth trying to debunk conspiracy theories?

in #news7 years ago

No, the people who believe them have broken pattern matching in their brain. Even if you debunk one "theory" in front of their eyes they will find ten more to take its place. Like religious people the best thing you can do is be there to support them if they come to you, if ever. Oh and load up on prevention by teaching kids critical thinking and scientific method - all of which are under attack or absent from the education of many, especially those who are home schooled by the rationally impaired.
