@skeletor
That's what THEY want you to think...
@skeletor Louder for the intentional idiots, please!
@skeletor i thought the better of it
@skeletor Been dealing with those "which one of you jerks pooped my pants?" Idiots again, Skeletor?

@skeletor ... and paid very little attention in history.

Although -- one may successfully argue that altering curricula to suit political prejudices is, indeed, a conspiracy.

@skeletor yep gotta have science! We were blinded with SCIENCE ! 😂

@skeletor My failure is part of the conspiracy so that's a great big DUH there, Skeletor.

And here I thought you were some great visionary or something. That's me though, always falling in love with fictions.

@skeletor
God I love you, Skeletor.

@skeletor when i was a dumb student (still but without student), i also was a conspiracy theorist. it was somehow fascinating and had something mystical.

after i've worked for several companies, from small to multi billion dollar corps -- even they hardly have their shit together regarding processes and whatnot and anything.

no further explanation needed about a secret elitist circle ruling anything.

@skeletor Unfortunately I know many highly educated people who fall for conspiracies.
@skeletor Well... I was close to failing math, chemistry, and physics in middle school and high school (i.e. Gymnasium in Germany) multiple times. I never did, but I got close. I still feel like I developed good critical thinking skills and science literacy, mostly because of a personal interest to learn.
No, that's valid. The corollary, every conspiracy theorist failed high school science, is equally valid.

@skeletor

You're too verbose. Let me fix it for you:

EVERYTHING IS A CONSPIRACY

Don't bother to thank me.

@skeletor who else remembers their favourite class in highschool "science"

@skeletor if anyone reading this wants to know more, read this book

You don't need to be 'stupid' to be taken in by conspiracy. It's how human brains work
And it takes work to resist.

@skeletor @longbottle I beg to differ, there are many of those conspiracists who never reached high school, let alone set foot in a school.
@Dofain @skeletor @longbottle I mean, never taking it falls into the same category as failing it, IMO. In either case, you don't absorb the material.
@longbottle let me be a smartass this once :p
@skeletor i didn't fail high school science, it was a conspiracy by big library to make me borrow more books, and i was not going to fall for that!
@skeletor so I failed physics & barely passed my other classes, but I'm not ignorant or stupid like these dumb conspiracy fuckwits

@skeletor

Some never made it that far in school.

They dropped out so they would not fail. /s

@skeletor but they don't fail people. No child left behind lets everyone graduate no matter how much they don't think.
@skeletor having talked to more than enough "highly educated" degree holders who exhibit the same tendencies - while having vocabulary to sound smart, I'm not so sure about this claim.
@skeletor Makes sense, politicians who failed science creates most of the conspiracies.
