I'm not saying that all CT's are true. I'm merely saying why close your mind to the possibilities? Why rule out anything a priori? Why not consider the evidence at least? That's all I'm advocating.
Winston,
You simply don't understand.
I am not closed to the possibilities. I consider them, and in 200 milliseconds I find a fatal flaw, and then I dismiss them. Every time someone points me to a video or website or posts an article in any forum it takes me 30 seconds to read until I find a mistake. This has happened 100% of the time. All of them. 9-11, the moon hoax, etc. The amount of time it takes for me to disprove them is infinite because the believers are irrational and not versed in science, pull a logical fallacy every sentence or paragraph. I have a life, and they don't. I have better things to do than waste my time trying to argue with fools and prove that their theories are fantasy constructed to shield their psyches from a dangerous and unsafe world.
In typical logical fallacy style they claim that someone who does not have the time to debate has proven them right. No, that's another logical fallacy. I have had this conversation with you, with dozens of other people in the past 9 years, Nothing ever changes. You cannot understand what I am saying and I have other things to do.
McCartney, for example.
Most CT fans have a long list of oddly grouped qualities. One of them is an inability to accurately view, see and observe the world as it is. This applies to this CT. They lack the ability to be observant.
CT'ers see those photos of McCartney and 'obviously see a different person'.
I see those photos and I see a young man who aged naturally in 5 years, one photo is shot in natural light and the other is shot with light under his chin. One photo he appears hungover, shot early in the am like the cover of Rubber Soul. One photo his chin is lowered one it is not. This will make a persons' face appear different. Men go through these 'jumps' in aging. Caucasian men especially. Someone will look more or less the same from 25 to 37 and then age considerably in a few years, then have the same appearance for 10 years, then age rapidly in a few years, etc. It happened to me between 39 and 42. I went from looking to be 33 to looking to be 55. McCartney and The Boys had a party lifestyle especially after Bob Dylan exposed them to weed in early 1965. Those late nights on speed in Hamburg playing for 10 hours a night wear out even a 21 year old and age him faster.
When I point out the subtle details they simply don't see them, don't understand them, and lack the wisdom and experience and knowledge to put them in the proper context.
Then there is the sound sample 'proof' where they pick two phrases that rhyme and state categorically 'that they should appear the same on a graph'. This sort of 'it
should be like this...' claim appears in every CT, almost in every sentence. It's just based upon ignorance and lack of experience and massive amounts of suspicion and numerous errant assumptions about how the world is. For the record, NO a person's voice should NOT look the same of a spectrograph when uttering different words 5 years apart with vastly different recording technologies.
It is this sort of attention to detail and the ability to notice it, know what it is, and how it affects those who lack the ability to see fine detail, that is one of the major flaws or inabilities of CT'ers.
They just cannot see what others can see.
This annoys people, especially the young. Young people get pissed off when someone older and wiser points out the reality of a situation based upon the subtle clues, the nuances, the experience and wisdom that someone who is 55 has and that someone who is 25 or 37 does not have.
"You can't judge people! How do you know that! You are making that up! That's bullshit!" et-f***ing-cetera.
It appears like magic to those who don't have the ability and it pisses them off. So, most older wiser folks (and not all older folks are sharp, knowledgeable, wise and observant either...) shut up and let the youngsters splash around in their ignorance. Once in a great while one actually seeks knowledge and they get it, but most of the time that is why older folks shut up around younger adults.
We can see stuff you can't. We know stuff you don't. In a fashion it allows one to predict the future.
Ex. Obama's first press conference. I have 2 friends in the world with the same point of view and insight. After he held that conference I fired off an email to them both. One guy is a CEO, millionaire, knows a few billionaires. One guy is special ops, has looked down the barrel of a gun many times. One guy knows 2 billionaires, and has a vast array of experience. All of us were shocked to the point of dismay. All of us saw exactly the same things. All of us tried to warn everyone. We did what we could, we all have a clear conscious.
All of us saw the same thing.
And it's pointless for us to discuss it with those who don't see, because the replies will be:
"You can't judge people! How do you know that! You are making that up! That's bullshit! You have to give him a chance!"
Sadly we were right as Obama has proved to be the incompetent empty suit we saw that first day.
