That fluoride makes people stupid.

That humans only contribute like 0.2% of greenhouse gases and have no impact in climate change.

That petroleum is a natural renewable mode of transportation that doesn’t come from dinasaurs

And that science is not reliable because people just say “trust the science” but get made when you “question the science” and that he doesn’t trust what he can’t replicate

And that NASA just lies and was founded by NAZIs so they just do nothing and collect government money

What is crazy to me is that this guy is great at his job and has got me unstuck from coding related problems several times. Yet, he believes in all these conspiracies 😵

I considered this guy to be smart and yet he gave me this ackward conspiracy info dump session

    Also - petroleum could technically be considered “renewable”, it’s just that the amount of time you need to “renew” even a tiny bit of it (when taken into the context of the amount of petroleum the entire population can CONSOOM in a year) is ridiculous. So, part lying by omission and part “well, technically…”. And it really does not come from dinosaurs - it comes mostly from compressed plant matter (the flesh decomposes too quickly).

    These tactics are often used by Ben Shapeabrain and other rightoid talking heads - omitting important details from their “sources” is how they are seen credible in the eyes of their base.
