> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > On a somewhat serious note, do believers in different conspiracies get along together? Or do they see each others as rivals? It always seems like once someone believes in one CT they believe in them all. You never hear people go, “Clearly the moon landing was faked and 9/11 was an inside job, but if you believe in chemtrails you’re a moron.” ---

You never hear people go, “Clearly the moon landing was faked and 9/11 was an inside job, but if you believe in chemtrails you’re a moron.” I don’t think so, some time ago I watched a very long video from someone thoroughly debunking the “Ancient Astronauts” nonsense with very cogent arguments and historical research. Up until the last minutes of the video I was thinking that guy was a paradigm of rational thinking and was going along with everything he was saying until I checked another of his videos were he said something along the lines of “David Icke is a delusional fool believing the world is controlled by a clique of extraterrestrial shape shifting reptiloids when obviously those are demons working for the NWO and the Illuminati” :eek: It went downhill from there… Oh, [here’s the video about Ancient Aliens](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9w-i5oZqaQ), and here the[one about David Icke at 2:20ish where the crazy shows up](https://youtu.be/fSGfNp___5o?t=2h21m3s). ---

Great, I got suckered into googling “Montauk conspiracy”. That’s a new one on me. ---

> [@AlsoNamedBort](#): > > It always seems like once someone believes in one CT they believe in them all. Belief in one kind of woo is highly correlated with believing many others, according to the theory of [crank magnetism](http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Crank_magnetism). ---

I had to wiki about a half-dozen I’d never even heard of. That’s going to be a very packed cruise agenda. They’re going to need a lot of meeting rooms and a lot of presenters to cover all those in less than 2 weeks. It might be fun to get together a group of 30-ish military-like guys (fairly buff w short hair) and take the cruise wearing Men in Black costumes, observing everyone but not mingling or participating, and speaking often but softly into one’s silver ballpoint. Just make darn sure to work in pairs lest you be pitched overboard by a panicked mob. ---

Since a tiny portion of the boat dissolves in water, the ocean has been imbued with homeopathic boat properties, hasn’t it? The idea that you need to pay a fee to use a boat is a fiction constructed by the conspiracy theory tour industry for their own profits.
