Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

Most if not all of the privacy related services (VPNs, Tor, etc) are compromised. On the plus side, I think that pirating media with those services is completely safe.

I belive there are aliens hidden in Area 51 and there is a secret tunnel network across the US that let's these aliens move without being seen.

The Spanish former King (Juan Carlos I de Borbón) was behind 23F, the attempted coup d'etat during 1981.

Let's say 1/20 believable conspiracy theories are true. If I disbelieve all of them I'll be 19/20 = 95% correct.

If I believe in one of them there is a 1/20 chance I'll pick the right one and be 100% correct and 19/20 chance I'll pick the wrong one and have two incorrect beliefs (one false positive and one false negative). 1/20100+19/2090 = 90.5% correct.

Feel free to correct my not even a napkin math. Or challenge the assumption that only 1/20 believable conspiracy theories are true. Or just agree and outsource the effort of thinking to someone trying to compensate lack of sleep with egregious amounts of caffeine.
