Yeah. So are Bernie, Tulsi, Jill Stein.
Everyone I don't like is Putin.

Good point. He's always been cognitively deficient.

A lab leak is by definition either negligent or malicious. From there it's just speculation.

Selection bias and evaluation bias.
Don't forget that the lab leak theory and Hunter's laptop were both "misinformation" and the golden shower dossier was real.

I never knew Plankton was a reasonably accurate depiction. The others all look like what we know but they could have gotten away with anything in his case.

>If you buy into the deeper theories with no basis in known reality (i.e. world governments are ultimately controlled by aliens) then your brain is telling your ego that you have more knowledge and power than the 99% of the population ("the sheep") and you are aware, while they are simply not intelligent enough to see, not as intelligent as you.
The irony is these researchers are displaying a similar bias - "we're more knowledgeable than people who believe conspiracy theories".

It's a lot more than 2 in 1000. It's so bad that the CBC infamously wrote "Conspiracy theorists keep being proven right. Here's why that's dangerous."
That required more than a broken clock being right twice a day.

Tuskegee experiments. Lab leak theory. Russiagate.
Then you get the ones in the middle where the theory is an exaggeration.
Bush didn't orchestrate 9/11 but the government did try to cover up the real perpetrator (Prince Bandar).
Comet Pizza wasn't a venue, but we've had multiple sexual predators in very high places exposed since 2017.

>We seem to have a high percentage of conspiracy theorists compared to other countries
We've been lied to by our institutions too many times.
The reason I don't buy into BD911, or we didn't land on the moon, is because the conspiracy would be too hard to execute.
It sure isn't that the government has earned the benefit of the doubt.
