A healthy amount of scepticism is essential in everyones approach to life.

Yes, it is crucial to remain vigilant. Another concern is how much time is wasted consuming content that offers no benefit to us.

BINGO! That's why we must be skeptical of conspiracies. A conspiracy without relevant truth grows rapidly. As in the expression "A mind of its own" when in fact, it's not mindful at all, but a baseless opinion (which I call a conspiracy) that doesn't even deserve skepticism & like you said (or implied), is a waste time as well.

Yes! That's a great clarification. We only have so much time. Once we see someone is consistently misleading, focusing on weak evidence or bizarre conspiracy theories, we should recognize it's a waste of time and thus merely entertainment.

Excellent article Renee! So refreshing! I've realised the popular ''truth'' movement groups and gurus are not too concerned with the truth. Case in point. https://biologyphenom.substack.com/p/scottish-covid-19-inquiryclosing

Thank you for your comment. I greatly appreciate the kind words! I agree that much of the content out there is not to our benefit. Clearly, we need to increase the visibility of the Scottish Inquiry significantly. In my opinion, it's evident that X is actively suppressing communication on this subject. This should be a clear red flag to everyone, especially since X promotes itself as a platform for "free speech."

Tell this to Grok 3 AI - it's on your computer. It will respond to all your questions, with incredible information. It's one of the signs on the left on the first page that opens when you turn on your computer. I find it invaluable & it's free - so far - lol.

My apology! I just discovered it and with thoughtless enthusiasm had to share it. Of course, I didn't mean to assume you didn't know about it (you're the writer, I'm the reader), I just jumped the gun of consideration.

When a person you've always known as a "skeptic" without proof, suddenly calls something a "conspiracy" without proof, it's time to get out of their rabbit hole.

I don't think that was the subject of the article. It was about why talking about that doesn't threaten anyone. But thanks for your input! You are Brilliant!

Many many people are invested in the spinning ball nonsense, such is the brainwashing from birth. I guess i am splitting hairs in that you wrote the state amplifies the bizarre theory. I don’t think they amplify it in any way. And it’s most certainly not bizarre. Believing you live on an spinning planet with people upside down in Australia etc is definitely bizarre.

Thank you for accepting my apology 🤷‍♂️

I think they amplify whatever doesn’t threaten their tyranny. In this case, it’s just another way to divide people. As the article mentions, they would rather have us argue about whether it’s round or flat than discuss how people were murdered in 2020.

I have spent pretty much the last 5 and a half years discussing how folks were put to sleep in 2020, and the ensuing shitshow of the completely unsafe and ineffective vaccine. So much so i was/am permanently barred. As is any new profile from my ip address.

Certain things are not even up for discussion with random Joe Public. Flat earth, chemtrails, the Holohoax to name but 3. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

In regards to the fake pandemic, keep exposing anyone pushing the death shots 👏👏

You may remember most of my shitposting started with

‘Good morning inmates’ 😉

You said/ wrote, it was a bizarre conspiracy theory. But it isn’t. It’s the most heinous lie. I think we were friends on Facebook so I apologise for my rude comment. My patience is pretty much non existent. It seems to be where im at right now, arguing with people who get most things but have a certain cut off point and won’t go beyond.

I was arguing with a Petra who gets all things psyop but insists we went to the moon 55 years ago. But we lost the technology 🙄 so it was a follow on from that.

I do appreciate your work and apologise again

So you don't think that most people think it's a bizarre conspiracy theory? Apology accepted. Thanks for that!
