Your overall score for conspiracist beliefs was 3.33/5.
Not believing we've made first contact severely tanked my otherwise high score.
Government malfeasance: This facet reflects a belief that the government commits crimes on its own citizens. Your score was 4.67/5This one's factually correct for most nations with security threats coming from its own citizens, for most nations with cold war legacies and most nations with advanced state security bureaus. Not really much you can do about it when conspiracy theories like mass surveillance get confirmed as completely true xD
Malevolent global conspiracies: This facet reflects a belief that governments and industry are controlled behind the scenes. Your score was 5/5.They aren't controlled in public :
P
Between lobby groups, advisory groups, consultancies, think tanks, transnational corporations, internationalist clubs and networks, lots of ways to gain relevance above a head of state - that's without even beginning to touch on supranational entities like the IMF or European Union. Most of the times it's just the way things are done, so as to avoid public outrage and opposition to unpopular policy. Few people for example want fracking done besides their home lol
Control of information: this facet reflects a belief that science is manipulated. Your score was 3.67/5.
Yeah another one where it is just factually correct to say this is true. People manipulate results in order to further their personal career, doesn't mean they successfully get past peer review - but you do get things in trials where results were manipulated in order to justify research costs ;]
That's just fraud on the small scale, but on the national one, when the stakes are big people are enticed to abuse. Anti-global warming science that is funded by oil companies are an obvious case, there was an amusing historical one where one scientist tried to defeat the sleuth of science funded by can manufacturers that said lead cans had no health effect on people (despite all evidence to the contrary), GMO is our modern day punching bag, smoking was (I guess still is) one such ground, and I laughed my arse off when I read a scientific paper concluding the health effects of regular cocoa consumption, as funded by Nestle (a major producer of chocolate).
Extraterrestrial cover-up: this facet reflects a belief that information about aliens is being concealed from the public. Your score was 1/5.
Of the legit coverups, governments covering up experimental missiles and aircraft is more likely. Unless aliens is referring to illegal migrants lol
Personal well-being: This facet reflects a belief that individuals are currently being harmed by concealed dangers. Your score was 2.33/5.
I'm quite disappointed they didn't have questions regarding the usual classics, like lead, fluoridated water, xenoestrogens, pollutants, quite recently in Colorado USA they even had
weed in their water. Hilarious!
As it stands the only one of these questions I really rated highly was the question on mysterious groups whose agenda involves the spreading of disease. Having seen the ebola death cults, it's safe to say the earth is worsened by their nurgletic touch, and I dare not cross their potent path before their shelf life perishes. Even afterwards, I shall avoid their corpses like the plague, for it may very well be! XD
I have a 4/5 on government witchcraft and twos on the rest.
Probably because I answered with my country in mind and there have been quite a lot of highly shady deals cut here. And do you say a yes or no to a small group secretly controlling the government if it's not a secret?
I'd say open secret still counts, since they're not trying to be transparent
