No argument from me with that logic.

Thank you- will do.

To address the specific evidence of explosives: I've heard it tossed about on various comment sections, forums, and CT websites - during my own CT days - that the youngest Bush - Marvin - was a principle investor in the security firm that handled WTC security. Apologies if this has already been...

People who rely on emotional reasoning and not logic. Don't shoot the messenger. I couldn't agree more. But that's what you or I are up against if we attempt to debunk someone operating with such a mentality. I'm wanting to get feedback on how to respond to that sort of thinking. So far, the...

Ah ha...I can see that point. I fear I may be veering off topic with this. I sort of regret bringing it up because I'm not dealing with a specific claim of evidence. I just wanted to shine a light on some of the more interesting theories I've come across about the "flashes of light being...

Great personal story about your journey in and out of conspiracy theory . Are you a native of Ohio as well? Maybe it's something in our water? (Tongue firmly planted in cheek)

Exactly what I was trying to convey. You put it far more succinctly than I did. But yes, the theory goes that it had to be a spectacle on the level of a Pearl Harbor to rally support from a Vietnam-era, war weary populace. Absolutely ZERO evidence that that is the case. However, on a...

Again, playing devil's advocate to this theory - the reason planes hitting the buildings wouldn't be enough is because planes have hit buildings before, and it wouldn't set any sort of precedent. To rally an American people who are largely numb to Hollywood special effects, you'd have to do...

I agree. I'm merely speaking as one who believed it, to provide an example of the circular logic used to construct a conspiracy theory. I can easily create a ridiculous theory from thin air for WTC7: All three were supposed to fall in a controlled demolition. Somehow, the timing was off for it...

If I may, I'll respond to your question as someone who once thought this way. Here goes... The purpose of the controlled demolition was to create the most shocking visceral and cerebral impact on the viewer. This stunning visual - and its subsequent death toll - necessitated that the buildings...

Identifying formerly with the conspiracy theory camp, I can certainly attest to feeling lonely at times; bored, and not intellectually stimulated by much. However, not for a lack of relationships or things to do. I have a wife, children, family - as well as one or two close confidants. I do...

Thank you for the encouragement. I'll keep that in mind. Good luck with your aspirations as well.

One of my favorite quotes. Thank you.

I'm more than happy to shed a light on this social issue if it can somehow help others in any way. Everyone at Metabunk has been fantastic and respectful toward me thus far. In turn, I feel more comfortable about being open about my experience.

I respect people of faith. Most especially, those from the less judgmental denominations from which it appears you may belong. I just don't believe anymore. Too much reasonable doubt is ever present in my mind. There may very well be a "God". The problem is: Which one amongst the pantheon we are...

Thank you. You're very kind.

Capitalism doesn't mix well with corporate greed.

Thank you. I take no offense to you asking any question. Life is a journey, and we are all in the process of navigating through it with what we know and how our minds process data, whilst hoping to acquire more knowledge to get us to the next stage of development. To answer your question - I...
