Yeah my first thread


Adam of the Adam ruins everything, a show to shed light on common misconception in this excerpt of an episode of conspiracy, talks about one of the more (in)famous conspiracy theory.

The 1969 moon landing and how it would be impossible for them to take it.

Tldr: Too expensive and they didn't have the technology at the time to do so

I recall a really good video from a few years back from a filmmaker who made the same argument, which I assume this ARE one sources. It was pretty eye opening, even putting aside the moon hoax angle, on just how much basic film tech evolved.

From my research, if the moon landing had been faked, they most likely got Sam Peckinpah to direct it. There's a brief period just before the moon landing where his career was in turmoil and he wasn't really accounted for for part of it. I don't think the moon landing was fake though, just for the record. It's such a ridiculous notion. But if it was fake Sam Peckinpah totally did it.

I have a coworker who believes in conspiracy bullshit. He says stuff like 9/11 was an inside job, and that the moon landing was faked. I don’t understand how anyone can think these things.

It helps people feel like they are smarter than they really are because they have "figured out the truth" while the rest of the sheeple are living a lie.

Yep, their scepticism dial is cranked up all the way 11 so they believe that everybody is lying. No amount of facts can change their minds until they decide to stop believing a conspiracy theory of their own accord.

But what about that time Buzz Aldrin punched that reporter who was trying to get to the bottom of the conspiracy? Him lashing out proves something, right?

That's been my experience as well. The brain wants to believe what it wants to believe, and it will seek justifications for it before it considers changing itself. There is also something particularly appealing about feeling that you have cracked a code that few others have, feeling like you're part of a special group that knows the real truths.

Man seeing the moon landing conspiracy just reminds of that freaking Room 237 documentary on the shining, and how that movie was actually made because Kubrick wanted to show to the world he was the one who created the footage of the moon landing.

Good lord, just why.
