in the time of the internet the most absurd conspiracy theories come up. not just Qanon or voter fraud, there are even more bizarre ones, like for example "penguins don't exist", "koalas don't exist", "birds aren't real", "there is no gravity", "the earth is flat". and they all have followers.

I am thinking about starting my own conspiracy theory - "women don't exist; they are just androids built by NASA". let's see how many followers I will get

I can't stand the nonsense of "conspiracy theories". They are all over the internet; maybe these so called "theorists" are actually all aliens from another dimension!LOL If so, I hope they go back where they came from.

Oh I have a better one, the real reason the left want to stop using oil is they think it's what lubricates the core and the mantle and that once we've used too much the core and mantle will start grinding together until the core stops, and that's why the world is getting hotter now, like a bearing that heats up in an un-oiled wheel. Not long after that gravity will start to disappear and we'll all end up floating off into space.

According to the bible, didn't all humanity started with a conspiracy theory (well, just after it started...)?

I'll write "my" conspiracy theory out of the thing that will first come into my mind. It'll take seconds, not even a minute. My thought process is commenced, now...

All or most of the monumental figures of history are still alive. Even de deceased ones have been resurrected. Some serve the system, some are being punished with neverending torture. Even Adam and Eve are alive. And, they aren't even ancient, compared to the creatures who are eternal. Thousands of dooms occured, and out of each, hundreds of elites went to the space and are still visiting here. Some that are lost in the darkness of space became huge black eyed aliens. 

The above theory of mine was improvisation. Really.

The English footballer David Icke is a quite an interesting and dangerous personality. He believes that lizard people control our world.

"Humanity is actually under the control of dinosaur-like alien reptiles called the Babylon Brotherhood who must consume human blood to maintain their human appearance."

He thinks that the universe consists of vibrational energy. Apparently he had visited a psychic who told him that various truth would be revealed to him by the spirit world, which led to various prophecies, He is also someone who is listened to and has been on the anti-Covid-19-vaccine bandwagon, and has spread misinformation and dubious information. He has claimed that the vaccine is gene therapy and other things.

Conspiracy theories seem to come about because of off the wall thoughts that usually stem from some strange belief that comes from misinterpretation of something else.  In the case Logan mentions, someone told the fool that he would get messages from the spirits, and so he dubbed himself a prophet of kookiness.  

Religious tomes are another font of misinterpretation.  You can make any scripture support any crazy idea you want.  A great illustration of how things can be twisted to support anything you want is in the excellent series "Midnight Mass", a show I highly recommend, especially during the Halloween season.  5 years ago, this might have seemed far-fetched, but it's very believable now.

I haven't heard that one before. I know they existed during the '90s. I would see them in the trees in my backyard and I would frequently hear them at night. But I don't know if they exist anymore. I don't see them anymore and I don't even hear them anymore.
 

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Verbs don't exist. The universe was designed to contain only nouns. The designer couldn't design a brain that would work in a noun-only universe and put codes in our brains to download files of verbs. Some people are in tune with how the universe actually operates and have evolved to speak and write using only nouns. A leader is prophesied to be born in the coming decades that will help us remove verbs from our minds and lead us to the path to the great nouns in the sky.

Speaking of misinterpretation, and a problem with religious writings is that they are often so ambiguous, can be interpreted in so many ways, I've spent many, many hours listening to Do (Applewhite) and related materials of the Heaven's Gate cult. Those people were prone to conspiracy thinking, and at the time heavens Gate got started the idea of aliens visiting us (maybe they have, I don't know), that God is an ET, that angels are astronauts etc., that religion came from such extraterrestrial sources but the truth was not understood, was not that far-out. They believed that the Earth was being controlled by Luciferians, aliens, who were those cast out by the aliens of the Kingdom of God, the evolutionary level above human. Ti and Do, the founders of Heaven's Gate, felt they were the two written about in prophecy come as a sort of saviours. They adapted biblical passages and other things that fit a narrative. I guess everyone wants to be special (we all are I would say), and for those dissatisfied with the world, wanting answers and surety where there is none, and wanting escape (I can identify with that), it had appeal. A lot of these conspiracy groups act like cults, and in those bubbles, ideas are reinforced and elaborated on. Many of these "wacky" conspiracy theorists (of course various conspiracies are true) think of themselves as sceptics, but lack the tools and/or will for rational scepticism/ critical thinking. Some people do deeper and deeper and deeper down these rabbitholes, and then close off things that don't fit their narrative (open to odd ideas that seem to fit, but not really open-minded).

But the problem now is, it seems like more people than ever are falling into these rabbit holes.  A lot of it has to do with the access to so many forms of information and mis-information.  It seems anyone can get a following anymore....Joe Rogan somehow went from being a comedian to a TV show host and now has a podcast where he fills up the ears of his listeners with false facts.  He started the thing about taking the drug ivermectin to combat COVID.  People heard that and started taking it instead of getting vaccinated, and ended up in the hospital from self-medicating.  It just makes my head spin at how gullible people have become.

on the contrary: nouns don't exist. everything is a process and hence a verb. you are not sitting on a chair, you are sitting on a chair that is slowly rotting
