Scientists trying to find ways to re-educate conspriacy theorists (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Enigmatic_Continuum

This article is well worth the read because they're going to be implementing certain tactics to thwart "conspiracy theories" because, you know, it's just all crazy talk and none of it's true. We all need to start believing the correct thing... or re-education is in order.

In the face of that anxiety, changing a person’s beliefs is a tall order. “It’s about wanting to give them the motivation to believe the correct thing,” Miller says. “But tackling the motivation side is a heck of a problem.”

That’s a scary thought given the increasingly real-world implications of some conspiracy theories. The theory known as Pizzagate, for example, led an armed man to travel to Comet Ping Pong, the alleged hub of the alleged Clinton sex trafficking operation, to, as he put it, “self investigate”.

Ah yes. The people who like to tell others how to think, act and feel and then reading a book about totalitarian thought control when they get home.

Nailed it

Very dangerous they will soon start arresting people and brainwashing them this is what the Soviets did if you doubted the Soviet Communist way of life you were sent to a mental hospital because "clearly you are crazy for doubting our way of life" and tens of thousands of people were destroyed that way. I see this starting first in Europe then coming to America at some point the Left will be all in favor of it "because those people who believe in conspiracy theories are dangers to society" only Trump can stop this from happening by exposing all the evil crimes we have video evidence of.

I don't doubt that this is happening already right under our noses in small increments. Just like how Trump supporters are being kicked out of restaurants and kids are being punished for wearing any shirts or hats because they're offending people. Comply, or else.

I'll have to find the video, but it was created by Forum For the Future (FFF = 666) where the poor section was called the "Freedom Ghetto."

Once our eyes have been opened, we cannot unsee. Light will always overcome the darkness. Good always wins. The head of the hydra was removed months ago, and now we get to watch it flail, kick and struggle until its completely eradicated. Its life span should be about as long as the MSM remains relevant (kek)

In the mean time, the show proceeds to get better and better everyday!

Yeah, I hope the classes are free. Please help me.

and What about theoretical physics ?

Dougal_McHaggis ago

What about it?

TitanThinkTank ago

Those should first target them, spawning crap theories for reality, mudding Science daily.

Dougal_McHaggis ago

Thats like saying math is bullshit. They aren't crap theories they are math which has to match observations. Like dark matter. It's not a real thing it's essentially a mathematical place holder until a more complete theory is developed. They have to give it cool names and jazz it up for morons watching science niggers on TV, in order to get funded. It's all just complex math though.

They’ll never re-educate me!!!!

Podge512 ago

So the notoriously pro-paedophile Guardian thinks that people who believe in Pizzagate need to be "re-educated"? I'm shocked!

Tsuishika ago

Scientists these days are shabbos goy complying to the whims of 1 percent anyway.

Rawrination ago

I'm not suprised theguardian would be shilling this shit.

I just hope this gets even more people to wake up and smell the pizzagate.

Maybe they should be more concerned with anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers.

EffYouJohnPodesta ago

Hi there LA Times

Shizy ago

Maybe people should be left alone and free to think and do what they please with their lives!

Eggs-Vs-Bacon ago

Which one are you?

Shizy ago

I'm a free human!

TitanThinkTank ago

Eggs-Vs-Bacon, you are a illuminati shill

Eggs-Vs-Bacon ago

Then why am I so broke? They said there would be perks. I got nothin.

TitanThinkTank ago

its obviously your life takes wrong turns when you support or join the wrong people

Oh_Well_ian ago

Self anointed Eugenics Priest Bill Gates leading the Vax movement should make anyone wary of trusting injections.

Interesting how you lumped in flat-Earthers with that faggot.

Eggs-Vs-Bacon ago

Even if I did believe a fraction of what you're saying, vaccines have been around a lot longer than Bill Gates.

Oh_Well_ian ago

lol what the fuck does that even mean?

Advice: Take Logic if you ever make it to college.

anoncastillo ago

I wish Bill Gates was a eugenicist. He could kill all the Africans with fake vaccines and improve the world's average IQ significantly!

Oh_Well_ian ago

He is... just like his father.

Pretty much standard knowledge at this point.

Can you think of a viable reason why a software billionaire gets into vaccines? A billionaire that never goes out amongst the public, has a tight security detail around him at all times.. but his only mission is to help the poorest people in the world live longer. lol Yeah.. Gates is a cunt.

Dougal_McHaggis ago

Because hes a liberal do-gooder surrounded by other liberal do-gooders he wants to impress?

Enigmatic_Continuum ago

Don't worry, they're included.

Now, go get your flu shot like a good little sheep.

TheAntiZealot ago

Too late...

Nyhan’s work suggested that if you tried to correct an erroneous belief – say, that vaccines cause terrible side effects and autism – it could actually backfire and strengthen those beliefs.

"You are a slow learner, Winston." "How can I help it? How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four." "Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane."

Pretty hard to choose the most apt quote from 1984. I think in this case it would just be all of it.

Excellent comment, thank you!

DrunkViking ago

Its just like Quantum Physics, and Quantum computers, where a Qbit can be both 1, and 0, and somewhere inbetween, and all of the possibillities at once.

(Btw, zero is not a number, but 0 is a number)

Enigmatic_Continuum ago

Excellent quote! Everyone needs to read 1984, and some need to read it again.
