This take I buy. My grievance is like, with people who lambast “conspiracy theorists” (because apparently that’s a term for a fucking social identity we actually have to use in 2026) fall in the same trap as those who drop Dunning-Kruger effect- as we all know we all think we are smarter than average, and dumb people especially believe this, alas, just because you think you’re smarter than the average doesn’t necessarily mean you’re wrong.
Just because you believe in a conspiracy doesn’t mean there isn’t one. There are informed opinions. They are rare, and hard to come by, but still. Technically correct = best correct.
