That fluoride makes people stupid.

That humans only contribute like 0.2% of greenhouse gases and have no impact in climate change.

That petroleum is a natural renewable mode of transportation that doesn’t come from dinasaurs

And that science is not reliable because people just say “trust the science” but get made when you “question the science” and that he doesn’t trust what he can’t replicate

And that NASA just lies and was founded by NAZIs so they just do nothing and collect government money

What is crazy to me is that this guy is great at his job and has got me unstuck from coding related problems several times. Yet, he believes in all these conspiracies 😵

I considered this guy to be smart and yet he gave me this ackward conspiracy info dump session

In my experience people with these sorts of ideas can't stop themselves once they get going, they have to just air out all the weird stuff they believe. I have traditionally 'aryan' coded features and a guy at work just started going off about how (((they))) are controlling everything and trying to extinguish us and none of our not-white coworkers have souls (???) and theres a race war coming and look at these tens of thousands of dollars in weaponry I have at my home and so on.

White men go wild when they're talking to only other white men

I've heard shit that made my hair curl

That's the weird thing though, our workplace is overwhelmingly not white. It was like a weird solidarity thing for him to have another cracker to conspire with. And he evidently got along fine with everyone else, I guess he kept the racist shit to himself most of the time.
