ConspiracyTheoriesVsCriticalRationalism

See InformationOverload and ConspiracyTheories

Basically CriticalRationalism wants you to be open to criticism and counter-argument.

Conspiracy Theories are an attempt to DDOS the open machinery of CriticalRationalism.

I (almost) tweeted :

Conspiracy theories are a DDOS attack on rational thought. No "critical rationalism" or liberal openness to criticism can cope with being deliberately fire-hosed with disinformation. "FreedomOfSpeech" advocates need to understand this. Information overload is the Achilles Heel.
