Faith or reason? It almost seems that everyone except the cord pulling advocate has excessive faith in reasoning, and are choosing to indulge it at an inopportune moment.
In some ways conspiraacy theorists do seem to exhibit some sort of cancerous excess of reason in which theorizing no longer gets checked by experience.

@Allamanda No I think it was just right. At some point you have to trust what you know even if you can't convince a room full of conspiracy theorists to do the same.
Two sayings come to mind. Something about the chief purpose of reason is to determine the limits of reason, and, the impossibility of determining rationally that rationality is a good way to make sense of the world.
