So I think things like this, and like the one about harvesting knee fluid from patients to resell on the black market, are actually a feature of the conspiracy theories.
If you start buying into something pretty plausible, and then later you come to your senses, it's not that painful to just let it go and admit you were wrong. If, on the other hand, you buy into something that's clearly batshit insane, then you can't admit you were wrong and that any toddler could have seen that it didn't make sense. Because at that point it's tantamount to admitting that you're a helpless gullible moron whom no one should ever listen to again.
And presto, you're in deep, and you can't let go, or you pay a terrible cost.
Wait...my knees are pretty garbage. How would you know if your knee fluid had been harvested?
Does the knee fluid indicator light up?
Doctors and car mechanics don't want you to know this, but knee fluid is actually the same as blinker fluid.
You're welcome.
Do you think that's a concious realization or subconscious?
I think it's subconscious. Once people have their identity sufficiently tied into a set of beliefs, it can be impossible to see their own logical mistakes. This can go for religion, politics, conspiracies, etc.
Maybe check out George Lakoff's excellent book on the concept of reality framing, "Don't Think Of An Elephant."
Wait so I can't sell knee fluid? 😕 then what do I do with all these milk jugs full of the stuff I been harvesting.
Yah it's worthless dude, sorry to tell you. I can take it off your hands for you though, just DM me, I'll pay shipping.
Oh thank you. You're a live saver they been drawing flys and wife going crazy. You know with me harvesting her knee fluid while she sleeps.
Good news doctor said our insurance is covered for a wheelchair.
