Conspiracy Theorists and Logic: An Essay

Dr. Boyer encounters a lot of conspiracy theories on social media and in ordinary conversations with peers and simply can't believe so many people are gullible to instantly believe these crazy ideas. Being a logical person she is, she often asks realistic questions about the events and those who are conspiracy theory enthusiasts. Mostly she has more faith in her fellow human being and Americans to believe many (or any) of the conspiracy theories that are floating around. This short essay essentially asks those who hear the theories to stop, think, and logically work though not only the main-stream-media chatter, but also if they really want the answers to dig deeper into the truth that is documented by those who were there, scientists who do the research, and the authorities who search through the facts and sometimes the rubble to find the real truth about what happened. No one can keep a secret if more than one person knows about events. Look at the laws, law enforcement documentation, research the scientific data, and understand other folks are human (and make mistakes, as well as have ethics in their own lifestyles), before crying wolf in public.
