Though given how many of those "conspiracy theories" have turned out to be right over and over and over again with skads of evidence behind them, even according to the mainstream at this point, I don't actually know what aspects of it are still considered "conspiratorial" these days.
Thanks for your comments,
When I came here I more or less decided to go along with the tighter focus on things psychic, because like a lot of people here, we say what had happened to Skeptoko - though strangely enough, the last two Skeptiko podcasts have been spot on - one is about shared death experiences, the other a very interesting interview with Dean Radin.
As many of you know, I also post on a medical blog run by an NHS doctor. The limitations on discussions there are almost a mirror image of those here. Thus the concept that many aspects of medical science are extremely suspect is taken almost as given! OTH posters there have a hissy fit is I mention how valuable acupuncture has been to me and a number of others that I know IRL, and every now and again I tease them with the fact that the psychic Sylvia Browne predicted COVID with truly remarkable precision in a book in 2008! I just hope none of them choke to death over my comments! The author of the blog, Dr Malcolm Kendrick, is remarkable tollerant, however. OTH on that medical blog, all the COVID conspiracies are discussed quite openly!
I don't really object to the restrictions here, but I suppose your response makes me wonder if discussing psi within tight limits really works. I mean a lot of psychic things spread into everyday life.
