I fear that will only mitigate the spread, not curb the belief in it, unfortunately. If anything so many conspiracy theories seem massively fueled even today by any attempts to silence.

I fear something along the lines of education and critical thinking is the only way to deal with this problem. I just don't know how to get there :(

> I fear

thats seems to be the root of the problem. we're a fear driven economy now. That's why conspiracy theories are rampant, as well as actual conspiracies.

I liked the quote from Apocalypto:

> Fear. Deep rotting fear. They were infected by it. Did you see? Fear is a sickness. It will crawl into the soul of anyone who engages it. It has tainted your peace already. I did not raise you to see you live with fear. Strike it from your heart. Do not bring it into our village.

Nothing generates fear and distrust like censorship.

Nah, plenty of other things do too.
