I don't agree with everything that gets posted here (as it should be), but it's a constant reminder to keep my mind open to possibilities of things being far different than they seem. Thank you.

Im with you on appreciating this channel. While most of the world is interested in keeping people in fear and ignorance, /r/conspiracy for the most part have people who are civil and genuinely trying to get to the truth about our world and while also trying to help people become more informed.

I used to frequent here a while back and whenever I disagreed with a post I used to be down voted and called a shill. I'm glad that there are more level headed people here now.

Yeah I think the admins and rule #10 has a lot to do with that. Keep up the good work admins.

Some of it is shit but hopefully this sub gives you the skill to think for yourself and see through that shit. You're welcome.

Keep a critical mind and eye on the world you live in. Many things are not what they seem on this planet.

“The seeker after truth is not one who studies the writings of the ancients and, following his natural disposition, puts his trust in them, but rather the one who suspects his faith in them and questions what he gathers from them, the one who submits to argument and demonstration and not the sayings of human beings whose nature is fraught with all kinds of imperfection and deficiency. Thus the duty of the man who investigates the writings of scientists, if learning the truth is his goal, is to make himself an enemy of all that he reads, and, applying his mind to the core and margins of of its content, attack it from every side." - Alhazen 995 AD

Good quote It takes a little rereading to understand it completely though.

Short and sweet.

I feel ya though. Some things that get posted can be considered by some to be a waste of time, but, if it helps others in their personal research then so be it. I thpically abide by the rule that if i dont like it, ill move on to another post.

But sometimes, ill check those things out, just to increase my reportoire.
