> it is only us conspiracy theorists who suffer from delusional cognition
Of course not, but if you, say, think the Earth is flat you are delusional. That's just what it is, and I'm not gonna hand hold crazy people when I tell them they're crazy.
The issue is when crazy people assimilate, or rather try to infiltrate, groups of educated skeptics. Now they all look crazy, and that's a problem.
Or do you mean people who didn't deny Covid? Hmm I would demonstratablely less harm than you. Because even if masks are almost useless, that's better than nothing, right?
Simply being contrarian for the sake of it isn't impressive, it's kind of sad. Sometimes the big dogs are just right. If you can't articulate their motivation, objective value gain, methods, etc, then you're probably just crazy.
