What makes them false, or even a dichotomy for that matter?False dichotomy.
I'm keeping my own councel on the covid front although it certainly hasn't passed the sniff test:-)It's what the sheep say.
It's what the sheep say.
The amazing thing about this is the immense arrogance that the sheep's accusers exhibit with their categoric assertion that their position is unassailably true (and that the sheep's is obviously and ridiculously false). It's just the opposite side of the same coin.It's what the sheep say.
Before I proceed, I want to acknowledge that
...
- I haven’t deeply investigated any of these theories...
What am I missing?
What makes them false, or even a dichotomy for that matter?

Here's the bottom line on Building Seven -
Just like a bookie sets odds on a sporting event, those odds are calculated on all known factors and all perceived factors available to the experienced bookmaker. Most events are close to 50/50 but sometimes there are matches where one side is the obvious huge favorite, These odds are "juiced" and made available to the public for betting purposes in the odds format attractive to the target market.
Take out the juice and convert the odds to percentages and what you'll always get when you add up the percentages for all the selections is 100% So within that framework - we could reduce it to a two selection market.
Selection A would be "Building Seven was a demolition"
Selection B would be "Building Seven came down for any other reason"
The fact is only if Selection A is true - which means there are (or at least "were") those who were involved in setting all that up and then either the same people or someone else "pushing the plunger" then they know this to be a fact or at least knew this to be a fact in case they are all now dead.
If Selection B is true, no one can definitively know that.
So excluding you being someone "in on it" (if Selection A is true) then neither selection A or Selection B can have honest odds set at 100% (which would make the other selection 0%).
So within that reality, each individual has a fair right to make their own odds. If this were an event that would one day have a clear result for betting purposes then the bet could be "settled." Sadly this one likely won't ever be (well... unless, again, Selection A is true and you were in on it).
My personal odds would be set at Selection A is 95% likely true.
My reasons are - The collapse of Building Seven was announced by the "Operation Mockingbird" Press on one major news network (I think it was the BBC) prior to the actual collapse of the building. In fact, in the video clip of this announcement, Building Seven is still showing standing in the background shot behind the presenter. We call that an "ooops."
The second reason is the way it feel and the rapidity of the fall. My logic is that even an idiot can see it was a controlled demolition.
The third reason - records were held in that building which, if destroyed and lost forever, would be greatly appreciated by a three letter agency which may otherwise experience grave exposure if those records ever fell into the wrong hands.
I have a speculation about what likely happened to those records. They WERE absconded with and have been held in certain hands and used for blackmail purposes ever since - gotta keep everyone in line, right? Ohhh and, what about a rogue "save the day" type guy who might want to expose the fraud. Let's consider examples of folks like that... say, Seth Rich for example? Just to name one example among thousands over the course of history?
Anways - note, I still make Selection B 5%. Why? Because I just don't know and I could lose my bet on the heavy favorite (as I have many times before).
Still not a dichotomy. The statements which the woman displayed on her sign are obvious truths to some who have done a bit of digging. Does the press sometimes lie or is the press a rigged system of control. Do drug companies get it wrong sometimes or have they manipulated the system so that often more effective natural remedies are outlawed. Do governments lie - *One doesn't have to be ancient to remember how a new right economic system appeared miraculously around the world without the plebs getting wind of it. What are conspiracy theories to some are obvious truths to others who are concerned enough to do a bit of digging. ( 'I think 9/11 happened pretty much like the government says it did. I think Oswald killed Kennedy all by his own crazy self. I think the moon landings were real. I think the earth is round, despite all the "evidence" presented by conspiracy theorists to the contrary.' ) To lump obvious conspiracies together with more dubious ones could qualify as a dichotomy. Have you even had a cursory look. Glancing out of an aircraft window tells us that the earth appears to be round. Do a bit of digging please about Kennedy et al.Because you don't have to believe every conspiracy theory or believe in 100% benevolent and truthful government. It makes for a catchy meme, but it's far from reality. Take me, for example. As noted in this thread, I think 9/11 happened pretty much like the government says it did. I think Oswald killed Kennedy all by his own crazy self. I think the moon landings were real. I think the earth is round, despite all the "evidence" presented by conspiracy theorists to the contrary.

Your hair splitting aside, the connotation of the sign is that you either believe the truthful conspiracy theorists or you're a stupid sheep that believes big scary corrupt sources like the government and big business. Either/or = dichotomy.Still not a dichotomy.
Again we are left with needing to assess the quality of information that your diggers have produced, which I say, based on my actual experience and direct knowledge of some of the topics that conspiracy theorists harp on, is often total ignorant bull shit. The alleged "truths" are certainly not obvious truths to me. Just for example, I have worked for about 20 years in healthcare insurance business analysis for a Fortune 100 company and the blanket assertion that drug companies are making people sick (or keeping them sick) to make a buck is moronic. If that was the case, we would detect it in our studies and we wouldn't pay for it. Are there some drugs that don't really work well or add much value? Yes. We drop them from our formularies. They become non-covered/non-benefit. Do most drugs, prescribed as intended, do what they are supposed to do fairly well? Yes. Without pharmaceuticals there'd be a considerable decline in life expectancy as well as quality of life. Again, it is totally moronic to suggest otherwise.The statements which the woman displayed on her sign are obvious truths to some who have done a bit of digging.
Yes. Of course. That should be obvious to everyone. Some of it is good old fashioned group think. Some of it is good old fashioned laziness. Some of it is good old fashioned corruption. Show me a person or organization that doesn't experience all of those traits to some extent. What is your point?Does the press sometimes lie or is the press a rigged system of control.
Yes. Of course. Do you ever "get it wrong"? Of course. Humans often get it wrong. It's part of being human. As I have said elsewhere on this thread - and it's speaks to the dichotomy that you are lost in, but insists doesn't exist - all groups of people err. All groups of people have corrupt members. Singling out drug companies is disingenuous. That you do suggests your opinion that they are uniquely corrupt, which they are not, and that your conspiracy theorists are somehow uniquely pure and correct, which they are not....Do drug companies get it wrong sometimes or have they manipulated the system so that often more effective natural remedies are outlawed.
governments lie
No idea what you're talking about. Guess I didn't read that particular conspiracy theory, whatever it is.*One doesn't have to be ancient to remember how a new right economic system appeared miraculously around the world without the plebs getting wind of it.
LOL. So...sometimes your honest intelligent diggers are idiots, but you know that because you can look out an airplane window. OK, what if you had worked with thermite, worked in the intelligence services, been in the military and led operations? Then maybe dumb ideas like WTC-7 being wired to explode (as well as other ridiculous 9/11 theories) might seem as silly as flat earth does to you. Think about it.'I think 9/11 happened pretty much like the government says it did. I think Oswald killed Kennedy all by his own crazy self. I think the moon landings were real. I think the earth is round, despite all the "evidence" presented by conspiracy theorists to the contrary.' ) To lump obvious conspiracies together with more dubious ones could qualify as a dichotomy.... have you even had a cursory look. Glancing out of an aircraft window tells us that the earth appears to be round.
Do a bit of digging please about Kennedy
The problem, Chester, is that no one has skin in the game. Players can wildly mis-assign odds because there will a) be no material consequences and b) no one will ever know for sure who won the game.
