NSA's prism project was regarded as complete bullshit until it wasn't. US Gov adding poison to alcohol not meant for drinking. MKUltra was confirmed. Epstein's island. Surveillance of John Lennon and Hemmingway. Climate change. Tobacco causes cancer. Vietnam war was started by a false flag.
To completely disregard that powerful people conspire to hide the truth is also disregarding meaningful opportunities to make the world a better place. Looking further back in history, it is easy to find many examples of people doing horrible things for money and power.
A minute fraction of conspiracy beliefs being true implies that viral nonsense constitutes a very large fraction of human thought - (which may be true!) - but which would then imply that most of your thoughts are also probably viral bullshit.
