When I see highly upvoted users, I tend to recognize a lot of them as people posting wild and unfounded speculation, drama, conspiracy theories, etc. I'm not terribly interested in those views.

One percent[1] of crazy-arse conspiracy theories will probably turn out to be true: Conspiracies do exist. But since you don't know which one percent that is, dismissing them all is still the rational thing to do: If one percent[1] are true, that still means ninety-nine percent[2] of them are total tinfoil-hattery.

___

[1]: Or two percent... Or 0.1, or 0.01.

[2]: Or, correspondingly to [1], 98 %. Or 99.9, or 99.99.
