re: Ever inadvertently made friends with a conspiracist? (Posted on 2/24/14 at 7:55 pm to Zoltan) The only conspiracy theory that I believe is regarding Sandy Hook, primarily because I think Obama would build a secret army and declare himself dictator for life if he could. I think the current admin is Hitler-level evil and capable of committing heinous crimes and perpetuating a fraud to get whatever law they wanted passed. I have not found any other conspiracy theory plausible, however. Does that make me a conspiracist?

This makes you a fricking idiot.

To be blunt, yes.

Fair enough.

Wow, didn't know about that one, and conspiracies are a hobby of mine. My personal favorites are the "reptilian alien" believers, which I've found is the place where all conspiracy roads lead. I also enjoy the "chem-trail" cultists. "No, that's not a jet stream. The government is poisoning us (and themselves, apparently), and we have a 50-year-old patent request to prove it."

But it all started with "Paul McCartney is dead" theory, made all the more bizarre after his ex did an interview on British TV in which she said he was part of something so shocking that no one would believe it if she told them.

One of my favorites is about the Saturn Death Cult. How all of the communication companies are in it.

that's pretty damn depressing.

I had a patient who was a total conspiracy nut. He was in his 70s, and once he got started he could talk as long as you'd allow. I'm talking any conspiracy you could possibly conceive, he was an expert on it. He'd bring me pamphlets and videotapes every time he had an appointment. He'd come by and pick up one box of videos and drop off another box (I never got around to watching them). It was actually pretty cool to listen to him go off on stuff like the Illuminati. And God help me when I tried to put a "mercury" filling in his mouth.
