Why It's a Bad Idea to Ban Conspiracy Theorists

Conspiracy theorists are annoying. It's the inevitable tail end of aspergery tendencies. Like 9/11 conspiracies or ant-vax stuff, it is incredibly time consuming to disprove.

But, like Russiagate, or relativity, occasionally, they're right. A system's characteristic to allow a certain percentage of its populace to engage in this type of behaviour is adaptive. Just like its adaptive to have a certain percentage of your population pushing existentially risky out-group sympathetic positions.

Here's another reason you shouldn't ban conspiracy theorists. Sometimes you won't hear a lot of pop-narrative damning stuff from mainstream players.

Racist?

Does something that is clearly racist cease to be so if it is politically agreeable? Or, if it is both politically agreeable and done by a protected class?

At some point one hopes that people will realize that objectivity & equality is probably the best way to keep racism out of society.
