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”.

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

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.
