Reply to Research analyzes spread of COVID-19’s most common early conspiracies.The overwhelming majority, roughly 87 percent, of webpages linked in tweets and retweets centered on the conspiracy theory surrounding Bill Gates, a villain-based conspiracy theory blaming Gates for creating the virus by Wagamaga
A conspiracy theory is just a theory until it is proven true or false. It is actually more like a hypothesis, it is a theory that can be investigated.
I am tired of people everywhere insisting they own the truth and if I don't believe them I am a conspiracy theorist. Show me the evidence and let me decide on my own, if your evidence is compelling then I might believe it. There is no compelling evidence one way or another for the Covid virus, but there is circumstantial evidence for it being a lab leak and also some evidence it came from a wet market. Maybe one day we will find a "smoking gun" or something that proves it one way or the other, or some link to Bill Gates or whatever, but until then, it is just a theory.

Altered Carbon deals with this idea too, it also deals with what the world would be like if you could constantly download your brain into a new designer body forever (if you can afford it) and how the ultra rich become stratospherically rich.

Reply to comment by MushroomNovaCat in Effect of long-term caloric restriction on DNA methylation measures of biological aging in healthy adults from the CALERIE trial (Feb 2023) by basmwklz
The scientific community has known for decades that calorie restriction increases longevity in mammals, but the exact mechanisms weren't well understood. It seems like we might be narrowing down the way it works.
