Yes it is definitely stupidity. And that's simply because it is ignoring reality at the most basic level of reason & understanding.Perhaps that's why such people choose to adhere to conspiracies that do not affect them directly. For example; a 'Flat Earther' knows that he will never actually fall off the edge of the earth. So he can continue to tout that there is a definitive edge of this 'huge disc' without any fear that he could die that way. But if there was an off-the-wall theory or conspiracy that would clearly endanger them in a direct way, it wouldn't be one that he would choose to challenge.The only thing that is 'evolving' here is the stubborn desire to oppose all authority. We live in a society today where people will disagree simply to disagree, because they do not wish to conform to anything. It's their definition of being 'their own person'. How sad.
Does that also include the same 9/11 "Truthers" conspiracies or how the CIA supposedly faked the Apollo 11 moon landings to deflect from bitter, divisive war in Vietnam and still-high racial tension from race riots in the late 60's?

If we're going to name names or conspiracies, might as well name a few more that are equally polarizing and stupid as well.
