I hope my title for this blog post is original… I’ve got a nagging feeling I may have seen another post on X with this title recently… I can’t be sure… and because of that I feel obliged to write this note at the top of my post. If indeed someone else said this first… I appologise for subliminally nicking your goodies… whoever you might be.

*****************************************************************

There have been some oddball discussions going on X (Twitter) today.
One about evidence for Pre-Maori peoples and government cover ups.
Another on the Moon landings mocking people who think that was faked.

It got me thinking about what it must be like to be a person who only holds ‘orthodox/ mainstream’ opinions about everything… never questioning the veracity of the general consensus… etc!

Living like that is alien to me, yet there are Millions of sheeple just like this in the world.
Never thinking their own thoughts… Never brave enough to stand with the oddball dissenters on any issue.

These people automatically assume people must be either retarded or ignorant not to believe the things they believe.
They cannot fathom the possibility that ‘the weirdos’ might know more about a subject than they do.
They don’t believe scientists ever tell lies, commit frauds… can be bribed etc.

To my way of thinking… show me a person who does not believe anything controversial… and I’ll show you a mindless zombie and an intellectual coward.
A useful idiot.

P.S I’ve looked at the ‘Fake moon landing conspiracy theory’ and they make some very interesting points
Dodgy photos, Fake moon rocks, Odd behaviour of Buzz Aldrin.
The one that gets me the deepest is how Junky and ridiculous the spacecraft and Luna landers look!
They really do look like poorly constructed stupid props for a low budget si-fi sitcom!
Despite all this I still lean towards the belief they really did land on the moon.
This is based upon weighing up the evidence and drawing the most likely conclusion, yet it would be false to say I don’t harbour any doubts.
It’s unlikely, but still very possible I’ve been deceived and I’m open to that possibility.
Maybe I’m a sheep on this one!

Do I *know* they landed on the Moon?
No.
I believe they did… probably.

I believe this is an intellectually honest position for me on this subject.
I’m accepting the ‘mainstream’ position in a qualified and conscious/ informed way without over-exaggerating the subjective nature of my conclusion and I’m still open for further discussion on this matter…
