Conspirancy theories

The world is a complex place. It’s easy to assume that someone else has all the answers, and if
you can’t see how something makes sense, it must be beyond what we know as humans with
finite understandings of the world. However, that’s a lazy assumption. If you think the world is
simple, let us introduce you to quantum mechanics and its deeply weird properties. The universe
is so strange that we still can’t fully explain its behaviors; there are many things that don’t make
sense to us yet. As such, whenever someone brings up a conspiracy theory, most people roll their
eyes and discard it as not having any basis in reality—or at least not one we currently know
about. This position is understandable but naïve. It also happens to be extremely detrimental to
society when left unchallenged by rational skeptics who question everything they see as an
individual with their own mind rather than regurgitate what others have told them to believe as
the “correct answer” from infancy onward.

Introduction
As the world becomes more and more complex, we end up with more questions than answers.
This is particularly true in the realms of science and technology, where advancements happen at
an accelerated rate. The more we understand how the world works, the more we realize that our
knowledge is very incomplete. There is still so much we don’t understand or know. That’s why
conspiracy theories exist. They’re an attempt to make sense of complex and incomplete
information that seems to contradict our established knowledge and understanding.

Seeking hope – and an explanation

When something goes wrong, people often look for someone else to blame. When tragedies
strike and people die, it can seem like there’s no hope of finding a solution and preventing
similar events from happening in the future. Conspiracy theories, however, present alternative
explanations for events and phenomena that often seem beyond our control. A conspiracy theory
may provide an explanation for a tragedy or an event that otherwise seems to have happened
without warning or reason. This can give people hope that if an event was caused by human
error, it can be corrected.

Today’s conspiracy theory is tomorrow’s reality

Although many conspiracy theories are outlandish, plenty have turned out to be true. The U.S.
government has acknowledged that it conducted experiments on the general public with harmful
substances, and more recently, there have been many conspiracy theories about Russian
interference in the 2016 presidential election. There’s also good reason to be skeptical of new
technologies and scientific discoveries. For example, genetically modified foods have been
around for decades, but now that we understand more about mutations and DNA, there are
concerns about their safety and whether they’re effective at all. These discoveries show that we
can’t simply dismiss conspiracy theories as impossible or ridiculous.

Rejecting evidence
Many people reject evidence that goes against their predetermined conclusions, and this can lead
to conspiracy theories. For example, if a person who believes that a specific political ideology or
religion is the only right path to take sees evidence that contradicts this, they may reject it and
deny that it’s real. They may even go so far as to create new theories or modified conclusions
that align with their preconceived ideas. This is particularly common in political topics, where
people will frequently disregard facts that don’t fit with their beliefs.

Conclusion
Conspiracy theories are more common than most people would like to admit. No matter what
happens, there’ll always be someone who feels that there’s more to the story than meets the eye.
On the other hand, there are also plenty of conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality
whatsoever. While it’s good to keep an open mind, it’s also important to be rational and critical.
When you’re presented with evidence, you should consider all possible explanations before
choosing a side. If a conspiracy theory feels irrational or too far-fetched to believe, then it’s
likely that it’s wrong. There are still many phenomena that remain unexplained, and without a
logical explanation, a conspiracy theory can seem like the most reasonable option. That doesn’t
make it true, but it’s important to remain skeptical and open-minded when it comes to these
theories, rather than dismissing them out of hand.

Conspiracy theories provide another perspective on the truth of controversial political, medicine,
or history events. Conspiracy theories bring benefits as they cause people to question the truths
they offer us and open us to the possibility of investigating in more depth before adopting an
ideology or a truth. However, they are not necessarily false. They can be true or false, only they
have not been verified as likely valid by the appropriate authorities. Also, even if many of them
can look as false, conspiracy theories help cover up the truth of events that have not been
appropriately explained . Conspiracy theories could problems, but on the other side, there are
some benefits to letting ideas open to be discussed and every one has the right to be skeptical
about the information that is offered us.
