Study Suggests Conspiracy Theorists Are More Positive & ‘Sane’ Compared To Conventional Thinkers | Collective-Evolution
A case study examining online commenting trends was performed by psychologists Michael J. Wood and Karen M. Douglas of the University of Kent that revealed so called “conspiracy theorists” are actually more mentally sane (reasonable & sensible) than those who are considered conventionalists.
Not that long ago, practically anyone who thought outside of the box, questioned the official stories, or did any type of investigation into certain subjects was labeled a “conspiracy theorist.” In fact, many of these people, including the majority of the writers here at Collective Evolution, are still considered conspiracy theorists by many even though the goal is simply to examine or verify the truth of something.
It is interesting how many of the people who are labeled as conspiracy theorists spend a lot of time with research and critical thinking. Sure there are always going to be more extreme people who lend a “bad name” to those who are legitimately assessing evidence, but it doesn’t mean the entire idea of conspiracy is invalid.
Many will check the facts, and look into the evidence on both sides of the coin. Generally the people who believe the mainstream idea of what is true, or is accepted as truth do not bother to look at the other side of the coin. They believe what they are told without question, and anyone who disagrees is, well, crazy, or a conspiracy theorist. Or in other words, paranoid.
The fascinating part is, it’s become some common place amongst society for people to not want to be labeled as a conspiracy theorist that anytime political leaders or the media wish to make something unquestionable, they will literally use the words “conspiracy theorists” in their speeches or reports when referring to anyone who wishes to question the story.

Did you miss the part about the Bible being one work that is in the 'hobby section', the other hours would be in the 'workshop'. Luckily the view of having a view about the Bible is enough that I don't have to hang out a 'No Loitering' sign. The difference is I can live in a world where your version of God is different, you can't live in a world where there are believers such as myself, 'we' make you a tad uncomfortable as our version could nulify all your hard work with just a sentence or two.The light is everywhere and you glimpse such a tiny sliver through your blinders. Very sad indeed.
