CONSPIRACY THEORY – LET’S GET IT RIGHT

 


A conspiracy is a bogus explanation of an event or idea by a manipulative group of people with the intent of influencing a group action – an attempt to control – an attempt to standardize a false narrative. 

Example: Trump won reelection.

 

A hypothesis is a guess, an unfounded brain fart, wishful thinking that sometimes – once tested - might lead to an objective truth. 

Examples:  Approaching the speed of light objects become physically smaller, passing into another dimension when the speed of light is attained.   Or, monkey farts produce fairies. 

 

A theory is a hypothesis that has been extensively tested and peer reviewed to the point that it is considered sound.

Examples: The Theory of Evolution, The Theory of Relativity

 

Conspiracy Theory is an oxymoron.

COMMENT: Ben Franklin said, "I imagine a man must have a good deal of vanity who believes, and a good deal of boldness who affirms, that all doctrines he holds are true, and all he rejects are false."
