The truth is stranger than fiction.
This is a publication based on the suggested topic proposed in the Hive Learners community through their discord, which on this occasion is "Just Another Conspiracy Theory".
Talking about conspirative theories is an extremely interesting topic and, in addition, it is something that I find very funny, because seeing how human beings distort or change a reality to be able to deceive, for their political purposes, or simply for entertainment purposes, always It is something that is very entertaining. Seeing the creative capacity of that human mind in transforming things in this topic, as it is a topic that has very particular questions, it is difficult for me to be able to answer them because the amount of things that there are is so varied, that it is difficult for me being able to select between illuminati, the pyramids of Egypt and any other number of cooperative theories that exist at the moment. So I'm going to keep it as brief as possible and highlight several of the ones that seem most interesting to me. Talking about one of the greatest achievements of humanity, such as the Apollo 11 moon landing when it reached the moon, it seems very entertaining to me and I have always believed that man has reached the moon. But some time later they came out with a conspiracy theory that the entire moon landing was filmed in a television studio, including showing a documentary how gravity could be simulated and man setting foot on the moon for the first time. It's quite funny because we know that there is a large amount of scientific evidence, there are thousands and thousands of very high resolution photographs that have shown that Apollo 11 landed on the moon. There are images from satellites, probes and exploratory drones that have been sent to the moon that have brought back scientific evidence of lunar soil and scientists here have studied that lunar soil and lunar rocks. In addition to that, there are also meteorites and fragments of space rocks that have come from the moon and other places. So this theory has been completely dismantled and it is not that I have believed in this conspiracy theory, but it does catch my attention and it is very funny to believe that the moon does not exist, when it is something that we see from the earth. Can you just imagine how crazy it is to think that there is a screen placed over the sky to deceive all human beings? Why should someone do that? With what intentions? This is just as fun as the theory that the earth is flat. There are people who believe that the earth ends at the horizon and that from there there is like a void, like a waterfall that is falling. Obviously, the scientific evidence proving that this is not the case is overwhelming. There are satellite photographs that show that the earth is not flat. In addition to this, people travel around the world, so this evidently shows that the earth is not flat, that the earth is round and the scientific evidence is there available to all people. Even more so today, with all the globalization and the internet, we can verify all this more. These theories can be very dangerous for society because, on the one hand, spreading these conspiracy theories causes an erosion of trust in all scientific institutions, the media, and government institutions. So, by losing trust in institutions, scientists and governments, this causes great social damage and generates anarchy. Also, by generating these social erosions, they make cooperation between people difficult, create conflict and it is very difficult to establish dialogue. Some theories, such as COVID theories, can cause people in an anxiety attack to seek further medical attention or seek vaccinations believing that they are really sick or have a virus or are going to die. They endanger their own lives by taking vaccines that they do not really need because it is very likely that the person is not sick, that they are healthy, and they also endanger public health and public institutions by collapsing health systems flooded with people. who are paranoid and believe they are sick. These conspiracy theories can be a risk and can be very dangerous for societies. This is my black cat "manclar", this account is to honor his dead (it happened years ago).
