I had a friend from high school that believed the Government was following him thru a "maze". He told me it during a San Pedro trip we shared together. I think he had some kind of Paranoid Mental illness.
Sadly, he took his own life by jumping off a building. Rest in Peace J.W.

I find it off-the-wall crazy that there are people out there who believe the earth is flat and, get it, that all the space photography of Earth is a big conspiracy of NASA and all the space agencies, that they are all in it to hide the truth that the earth is flat as a pancake.
I don't know what they're smoking but I don't want any of it.
Its mentally ill to have that little trust in humanity. You'd need a disorder of which delusional paranoia is a feature.

I work with a guy who thinks the world is flat. He also thinks jewish people control the flat world and he talks to himself. He's a character.

My mom has cousins who are full qanon truther types. It's really bizarre and it makes my mom super upset because they used to be really close and now you seriously just cannot have any kind of rational conversation with either one of them. One only started going down that road after she moved out to Arizona. I feel like the heat cooked her brain.
Also, good old fashioned shape shifting lizards. Definitely had someone tell me that earnestly with a straight face in person before. Particularly the George Bush and Hillary Clinton were both gigantic reptilian monsters here to take over the human race. She said that you could 'see them' transforming on camera if you looked hard enough.

Man, I'm not even Jewish I just have Ashkenazi lineage and that freaks me out a little. People are scary, and they find the strangest things to hate. Though this does sound more like the product of mental illness than anything.

I find my Jewish brother in law seems to get the wrong idea when I talk about people going nuts watching endless hours of Youtube and thinking they're doing "research" on whatever nutty conspiracy theory. Flat earth was the kind of thing I had in mind. But I guess just about any conspiracy theory you can think of ends up tying in with antisemitism for at least some proponents.

Yeah he's for sure mentally ill. He's an old refugee from the eastern block during the collapse of ussr. He's an oddball who talks endlessly about conspiracies.

There was an NFL player (forgot who) that was on the HBO Hard Knocks series who claimed that dinosaurs never existed and that people planted fake bones in the ground.
That's probably the dumbest I've heard.

lol I went to highschool with a girl who was like this. Literally thought the bones were planted and it was all a big hoax.
Pretty sure we tried to have like a class wide intervention during one of my more discussion/debate based classes where it was brought up, but nope, she would magically turn into a brick wall at the slightest hint of any cognitive dissonance.

I just can't grasp how anyone would think that it's remotely plausible that humans, somewhere along the line, thought it would be cool to plant enormous fake bones and open museums and dedicate entire time periods in history to fake big weird looking totally fabricated reptile creatures...just for the lulz.
Like with the moon landing being a hoax (I'm not saying it is btw), I totally get why a country would want to hoax that.
But what would be the motivation behind hoaxing dinosaurs?

Never mind the logistics problem of fossils being found every time solid rock is opened in any country, even in new mineshafts.

To corrupt good innocent god fearing Christians into believing in evolution.
That's what I'm guessing at least. It's so weird because she did not give the impression of being a religious nut or anything. This was a performing arts school, she was totally accepting of lgbt folks, and she was really quite nice and popular too, it was just weird lol. I feel like she might've just been doing it for some contrarion attention.

Not too long ago I heard a white racist accuse the black rights protests to be a jewish conspiracy to destroy the white race.
That guy seriously needs to open the window of his echo chamber to let some fresh air in.

It didn't sound like the NFL guy had any religious reasons either. His thought process as I remember it was, if he didn't see it with his own two eyes then he had no reason to believe it was real.

Nah. Too big. Logistically it wasn't feasible. If Noah had taken two of each dinosaur it would've exceeded the Ark's maximum weight limit.

I thought most people figured out object permanence before they were even 1 or 2 years old, but that mentality is so scarily common.
