Conspiracy theorists have existed since the beginning of time. Human beings are creative creatures that can spin up a theory without evidence in a heartbeat. Ask the same human being to provide evidence...well that is another story to unpack. Evidence is scarce to back up theories posited by these fringe groups like QAnon.
Anderson Cooper of CNN recently was targeted by a person propagating QAnon conspiracy theories. In the interview below, the theorist has no evidence, just pure speculation as to the harm posed to Mr. Cooper:
Wow! My big takeaway message from the video above is that the person who threatened Anderson Cooper did not have any evidence. He decided to threaten a journalist with no evidence. That is insanity. Insanity is all around us. Public sentiment might help squash the insanity that exists around us.
The next time you hear an absurd theory from a person in your surroundings, ask them for evidence. Take note of how many have actual evidence of their conspiracies. Evidence should be present. Otherwise, the persons' conspiracy theory is just an opinion.
