> Fact -Testosterone levels are dropping globally every year. Fact- Altrazine is a pesticide that can turn male frogs to females. Conspiracy - liberal govts are putting shit in the water and food to lower testosterone and turn guys feminine, and thats also why gays and trans people are so common now, and men no longer act like traditional make 'me a sandwich bitch' types males. Proof the globalist and liberal elites want to lower the population, and fuck the world. Result- far right, masculine obsessed, christofascist, borderline incel conspiracy theorist. Reality- Testosterone levels dropping is explained extremely easily by obeistity rising, smoking dropping, and more sedentary work + lifestyles. > > > > I've thought a lot about whats the problem with their thinking. I think the problem occurs when biases are stronger than your epistemology.
This comment seems self-referential, and potentially self-refuting (in that you do not have the means to know the quality of thinking of conspiracy theorists, and you give no indication that you realize you are wholesale speculating).
