[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think I've ever heard a conspiracy theory I believed.  I believe that most things are what they appear to be.  Mostly because it's impossible to keep secrets in this day and age, and with regard to anything related to the government, because I just don't think that federal employees are a bunch of liars.

Am I the only one? [/quote]

Agree - "moon landings were faked" and "chemtrails" and "flat earth" and "climate change is a hoax" and "reptilian overlords" and "5g mind control / covid / whatever else" or "the illuminati / jews / etc control everything" and many many more would be far too big to try and pull off and cover up - requiring a cast of tens of thousands or more, all of whom would have to be so deeply committed and sworn to secrecy as to take it to their deathbeds.

And more often than not, Occam's Razor holds true - that while people love confabulating wild, complex conspiracy theories the real answer is far more likely to be the simple and obvious one, like yes, we did in fact send people to the moon.   And we can bounce lasers off of the retroreflectors that the astronauts left behind.   And yes, the earth isn't flat, it actually is a spheroid.  It just happens to be so big that the curvature is very subtle from our vantage point on its surface and even Eratosthenes of ancient Greece was able to figure that out and calculate an estimated diameter of the earth more than 2000 years ago.
