The best defense a conspirator has is to make up a thousand ridiculous conspiracy theories.
You might want to back off on the aliens. Did you see my post on the other frorum about the UFO logo on The National Intelligence Management website. They put it up and then took it down claiming it was a mistake. Real or not I see an alien false flag in our future.Exactly what I was going to say. Outlandish theories are made up to make people in the know look like loons. At work, I’m known as the resident conspiracy theorist. I love pointing out how often I end up being right. I condemn aliens and ghosts as often as possible.

Zed works for the CIA... discuss.
It basically means, how do you *know* what you *know*.
My favorite one I read where the guy gave tons of evidence (that I can't understand) that Nuclear Bombs are impossible. The nuclear material simply won't go boom. Therefore the bombing of Japan was faked. There are photos that clearly show only the wooden structures were leveled. The modest brick buildings remained standing. Also gave a lot of science-y explanations.
Anyway, it is my favorite, and I wish it were indeed true.
Zed is confused by what country the CIA is based. I suppose you could be an informant. Should have gone with ASIS. Man that sounds way too close to ISIS.
Karl Popper.In short we don't and we can't.
This is why the scientific method is what it is, nothing ever proven only ever dis-proven or falsified. We setup up a theory and the theory stands until we can falsify it with a test (experiment). Every theory is always open to falsification, nothing is ever unchangeable. It is likewise impossible to prove a theory because any proof may have another theoretical cause and no proof excludes all other causes.
This is how you know when you run into dogma over science, words like proven or "the science is in" are used and all discussion is shut down. Science NEVER does that, it is an ongoing process.
So yeah, even if you have tested something and failed to falsify it you cannot be sure that you know it. All we ever have is the balance of probability given the information we receive.
For all I can know there never was a virus, you are a very well written bot and China doesn't really exist. That statement is probably 100% bullshit but I will never be 100% certain of it.
The science is never owned nor does it need defending, it is an on going process. These people are dragging us into a dark age in which the process is subordinate to the politics.
Kings of old relied on "credible external threats" to keep their subjects loyal and focused. It is a time tested tactic. I guess a big bad boogeyman bomb can help fill that role.
Can I know for sure either way? I couldn't tell the difference between a MOAB and a Nuke if it hit me. Moot point really... LOL.
First time I heard that one @dpong!
Question everything.

I like Epistemology better than your Nihilism, thank you.In short we don't and we can't.

Stock markets Crash around Solar Eclipses. Perhaps outrageous but likely some truth there.

I dare you...I have been patient and giving you guys (and one alleged gal) a lot of latitude. But don’t be careless or you will force me with no alternatives, and I will have to close this thread.
