Conspiracy theories are a horrible way to spread liberty and advance a free society.

For clarity, my position is not that no conspiracy theory has never been proven true nor admitted to, that's not an accurate statement.

My actual position is that most of the conspiracies thrown around, and there can literally be thousands if not millions around the same event, are not true. That 99.9999999% of conspiracies are inaccurate, misrepresented, or outright ridiculous, and that jumping to everything being a false flag is not an appropriate use of time for those trying to advance a freer society.

It's far more important to show the utilitarian/consequentialist and deontological (first principles) positions of liberty, rather than to advance unproveable conspiracies that push away most rational thinkers from the former.

Yes, some conspiracy theories have come true, that's a fact, but even from 1 single event, say 9/11, there are thousands of different conspiracies, and only 1 of them can be 100% accurate, meaning the other thousands are not.

It would be great if people don't put me in the "no conspiracy has ever happened" camp as that's simply a strawman against me. My position is that very few of the conspiracy theories out there have been proven true, but that it's statistically improbable that most of the conspiracies theories are true, and that it's a horrible way to spread liberty and to advance a free society.
