Vaccine skeptics and anti-​maskers are sucking down horse paste promoted by Trump's 'alien DNA' doc

36. Some people I've known have minds that are completely open.

That's not a good thing, because they don't really have any standards when it comes to discerning truth from bullshit.

If you don't have any scientific knowledge, or if you put the scientific knowledge you know on the same level as the rumors your friends spread about each other on Facebook, then it's easy to accept statements that contradict that scientific knowledge.

Someone comes along and tells you that the Earth is flat, and you disregard what your teachers told you because they're part of the system, and they're paid by the government to tell kids certain things, lies that THEY want you to believe so you'll be easier to control. Do you WANT to believe the Earth is flat? It's hard to say, but the argument makes sense to you because your knowledge is so limited and you don't accept sources that have any connection with the government.

So people can choose what they believe, in a sense, or at least what they ACCEPT as truth, by what they expose themselves to. And if they follow a con artist, they start thinking like him, and this con artist is actually able to make himself believe things that he wants to believe. He's taught himself to do this over the years so he can be a more effective con artist.

It's a different way of thinking and looking at the world. These people think that virtually everything they've been taught in school or in church or seen in mass media is a lie. When you don't accept truth because you believe you're being lied to, then you choose to believe whatever lies people like Alex Jones tell you. This is where we are with these people, and it is a scary place!
