    Nah, I’m not.

    Conspiratorial thinking is what gives you the bunkum conspiracy theories, and the evidence or lack thereof has nothing to do with their production.

    As far as I can tell from my reading they come more from an environment of distrust often combined with disordered thinking.

    Sure there can be actual conspiracies, but they also usually come with accompanying evidence and more than hunches, hindsight, or temporally related events.

      Evidence is what turns a “conspiracy theory” into either a “proven conspiracy” or a “debunked conspiracy”. Without the former, there would be none of the latter… not sure how is that hard to understand.

        Still waiting for the actual, solid evidence behind your conjecture.

        See the thing is that logical thinking follows the evidence rather than jumping to conclusions.
