I did not have to have my parents rich to study to a "rich kid daycare".

I enjoyed free education and could stick to it since I was not in the lowest 80% who got eliminated based on fair exams.

PS: I graduated all in Europe. Education is free so you don´t need to be some rich spoiled kid.
All what matters is your abilities and how hard you try.

Answer 1

The cry of 'conspiracy theory' is a great cop out, those claiming something is a conspiracy theory often provide no explanation as to why they think so and just assume others will believe them without the need to present any evidence or even a credible argument.

All too often it's a weak substitute for 'I don't want to beleive it but I can't refute it so I'll claim it's a conspiracy'.

Answer 2

Depends at the conspiracy conception. In average I generally tend to think the average notion held by means of such a lot individuals - I suppose the idea that says nine-eleven was once an within activity is undoubtedly ludicrous for illustration. If the idea was once compelling sufficient I would think it - however as of correct now, I have not visible a conspiracy conception but that I uncover extra compelling and correct than the average held rationalization. Then once more, I'm a kind of weirdo Christians who reveals evolution to be believable :) Peace!

Answer 3

SO.... how do YOU explain the things YOU dont understand? Are you saying that unless you have rich enough parents to send you to an Institution of Higher Indoctrination where you get a piece of paper reputed to be a Degree for being Conforming and Unquestioning, a person who is "uneducated" is automatically a conspiracy theorist? You need to climb down off your pedestal inflated with hot air and realize these following things:
A. Most of the smartest people in history: Einstein, Newton, Bacon, Carver, Jobs, etc, are what you would smugly label "uneducated". They were not university graduates. Most of them have honorary degrees or actually founded universities back when universities actually WERE centers of learning, rather than the conformity mills they are now.
B. Much of the truly useful and factually based things you can learn are learned through self-education.
C. In most cases, a degree is simply a license to stop learning.
D. Universities are isolated caves of theory and fantasy with little connection with reality.

In case you are wondering, I DO have a degree or two myself, so I can speak with authority on what universities are like. I wish you could do the same on what the REAL WORLD is like.

Aside to "Dana 7th century" or whatever. Global warming is a hoax because it is not really true. Has nothing to do with what people understand or what they dont understand.

Answer 4

Was Lee Harvey Oswald the only shooter? Case closed? OK, tell me why part of President Kennedy's skull fell onto the back of the convertible where Mrs. Kennedy climbed out to retrieve it, as photos show. Did some deity repeal the law of conservation of momentum? Do pins now fall toward the bowler after being hit by a bowling ball?

Answer 5

Only if one takes them seriously. I don't think I could live a day without a good movie or TV show based on some outlandish claim that Hillary lays tax-funded robot eggs or some-such.

But, then, there will always be the slightly over-gullible types. What're ya gonna do?
