14 COULD BE PEAK AGE FOR BELIEVING IN CONSPIRACY THEORIES

[OldBaldy1701E]

12. I suspect

that one factor is that it is usually around that age when we become aware enough to notice the bullshiat that permeates our lives and our society. I know it was around that age when I realized that a lot of what I had been taught was either wrong or propaganda. It is true that some of us do turn to some amazing beliefs as we age. But for some of us, this is what led to becoming aware of injustices and inequities and led a few to even attempt to do something about it. The study correlations are valid. My concern is this: is this worth putting resources into when the result may... may... be more braindead sheeple with zero independent cognitive function? It is our disbelief that fuels investigation, debate, and critical thinking skills (as far as I am concerned). Should we be trying to mess with that?
