A recent debate between Michael Shermer and the latest conspiracy profiteer is documented here:

"Let’s call them Conspiracy Skeptical Principles."


Conspiracy Skeptical Principle #1: There must be some means of discriminating between true and false conspiracy theories.

Conspiracy Skeptical Principle #2: Cognitive Dissonance and the need to balance the size of the event with the size of the cause.

Conspiracy Skeptical Principle #3: What else would have to be true if your conspiracy theory is true?


Conspiracy Skeptical Principle #4: Your conspiracy theory must be more consistent than the accepted explanation.


Jesse was really fighting out of his weight class when he took on Michael Shermer. I think Mike had an unfair advantage in that he was coherent.
