If we all continue to not accept that conspiracy theories are valid we also choose to not accept that those people are valid.
Why is it that over the past few years those with different opinions are now called conspiracy theorists.
It is a very rare experience that I sit down with someone, in fact anyone, and we agree on all subject matter on the table. Just because someone has different views does not make them a conspiracy theorist.
There is always grain of truth in conspiracy theories.
In psychiatric wards over the world there are people who struggle with intrusive paranoid thoughts. Do we dismiss what they think, see and imagine as not being real? It is real to them.
To really understand these poeple you need to step inside their world and you will see that their is a grain of truth in what paranoid people are talking about.
If people feel helpless, that they are not being heard or they have no control over their lives, is it so hard to believe that they will cling on to something/anything that represents how they feel.
The lizard people on the moon who control our way of life on earth is a classic example. There are of course no lizard people living on the moon but I am sure many people feel that there are hidden forces controlling their lives that they have no influence upon.
I think it has a lot to do with the lack of transparency in the world of politics, government and tech. Without knowing the truth the mind will inevitably wander and make up stories.
Isnt this what conspiracy theories are. Stories built on snippets of truth.
What actions exactly are you suggesting here? It sounds to me like you're claiming there's nothing at all wrong with mental health clients or people in psychiatric wards, and thus we ought not to try treating them but rather discharge them and send them on their way into society as totally normal.
