    This is a cross-post from another sub where the OP was downvoted for asking on opinions about that book. Do you mind elaborating on why would you prefer hammering nails into your eyes over reading this?

      Conspiracy theories are for people who are too stupid to realise they’re stupid

        So the book is literally just listing conspiracy theories? I see.

        I’d bet you believe in several things that are considered conspiracy theories.

        I’ve yet to meet someone who believes Epstein killed himself for instance.

          I bet you’re American and think that other cultures eat up conspiracy theories the way yours does

          No of course I don’t

          Well, I firmly believe that nobody in Belgium knows how to whistle, but that’s been proven correct on multiple occasions

            You’d lose that bet my friend.

            I just think labelling conspiracy theories that way is silly.
