So, I heard several people now mention HAARP as the cause for all the natural disasters that have been happening lately. And here I thought the cause was rampant pollution and global warming!

But seriously, I’m looking at the HAARP page on wikipedia and it seems to be an array for studying the ionosphere? How in the hell do you go from “we’re using this to see what’s happening way up there in the sky” to “this causes tornadoes”? Who even started this garbage?

    Because these delusions are based on defects of the mind, there’s no amount of facts that you can throw at this problem and expect it to be fixed that way. What wasn’t reasoned in, can’t be reasoned out of a broken mind like that.

    This hurts to read, but I have to agree. Especially because the person who first told me about HAARP has a freaking degree in psychology.

      Well, I know someone with a PhD in chemistry, and he still believes the covid vaccine is designed to kill people, cause a global collapse and all that. The human mind just is never truly safe from this type of thinking.

        A PhD doesn’t mean anything other than that you are a fast learner and are dedicated enough to work on a project for years. It doesn’t mean you are intelligent or even that you know everything in your field, however it does usually result in you being an expert in a very specific small corner of your field.

        I have a PhD

          This is a very interesting case study in how confirmation bias can affect conspiratorial thinking, thank you.

          To add to @Erk@cddn.social, this is about the virus being designed ti kill, not the vaccine, andteven cites Pfizer’s director.
