@dyamarik I'm hoping that the conversation will eventually evolve and gravitate to trends, and if they correspond with a systematic pattern. But do those patterns even matter if they are just a fallacy in our heads? The whole script thing is another can of worms, even though I did pose the question. I think that there is a real epidemic we have here. To think that "life" or "sports" are staged. When this phenomenon first reared it's ugly head I thought it was just trolling. But it's now apparent that people believe in it whole heartedly, and with such conviction. It's as if people are just deflecting reason, not coping with reality. It's strange, it's sad, it's puzzling.
In other words, your post is propaganda to deflect from truth. Truth. Truth is not defined by logic or fact.
How is your approach not cognitive dissonance?
You choose to believe a theory that you can't prove. You can only show you know a definition of your theory. No where, dies it disprove staged entertainment.
An entire system and logic can be fabricated. A fact is only something that supports an entirely made up logic.
That doesn't make it real or true.
Yours is just another "construct

I have a family member that's like that. When he lost..it was fixed, staged, the refs were in on it etc. When the game was going his way though through out, and in the end he won, not a sound until the next game that was not going his way ..and lost. Its a very perplexed delusional way of thinking, and I pose the same question. If you think games are fixed ..why gamble. Gambling and crying fix is not the problem, losing is. If he only learned how to win, he wouldn't have a problem anymore he was a 40% bettor over the longterm. Like someone playing the slots for years ( 2-3% chance to win in the longterm). You would always hear when the won big...but never kept any records to ever see what they lost...since the first pull of the lever
Great Thread..

I know a car has many parts and works based on their functions. Doesn't mean I need to know or can tell you why or how. I don't need to make correct predictions to know games are staged.
Games ?... do you mean all games, every single one of them, or certain games. Can you be more specific

A person’s education level may play a role in whether they’re more likely to believe a conspiracy theory, according to a 2016 studyTrusted Source. It found that lower levels of education correlate to a greater likelihood of believing in conspiracy theories.
“Ideally, one of the things we learn in higher education is critical thinking,” Manly says.
On the flip side, people with postgraduate degrees believe and push conspiracy theories too. They may even be harder to reason with because they’re overconfident in their position.
Cook believes that the more educated a person is, the more difficult it may be to bring them back to reality or even have a healthy conversation with them about their beliefs.
“It’s not driven by knowledge or intelligence; it’s driven by ideology, beliefs, and identity,” he says. “What that means is that as a person gets more educated, they develop more skills to be able to deny more skillfully.”

I have a coworker who was a former pilot and as smart as rain man but keeps preaching to me about the rapture is coming soon and refuses to take the vaccine because they are infused with chips that will control the population in the future

A Pointless comment that can be applied to your side as well. You think you are more educated.
Education is not truth. Fact is merely belief in a construct you choose to accept as real

People will argue black is white if there is enough money involved. Nothing to do with truth or belief. How many super rich evangelical preachers believe in god. None.
Everything has to do with truth.
If you you are lying for gain, it has everything to do with it. That's problem with the majority.
They've been misled and don't know they are being lied to.
