Before I moved to the US, I did not think these people actually existed but now I have met a few. I recall one girl I met (got her number). On our first date, I quickly found that she was the super religious type and took the Bible very literally and believed the earth was 6000 years old (or therebout). I asked her about fossils, carbon dating. I guess you get the picture how this date went. She actually had some college education (liberal arts) was otherwise well versed . She went to some local church that seemed to be hardcore fundamentalist Christians. These people lightly scare more because rational reasoning and the scientific method is foreign to them. If we only had those people, we would have never made it out of the Middle Ages, maybe not even in the Middle Ages. This was before the Internet but I think the availability of all sorts of whacky information and post truth gospels probably made it worse. What a time to be alive. Edit- the Millenials are the age cohort that believes the conspiracy theory the most according to this study. Edited February 23 by Spekulatius

Sweet Posted Saturday at 06:37 PM Author Posted Saturday at 06:37 PM Idea: European defence industry stocks. Tectonic shift coming. A basket of European defence stocks may do well. Only one I really know much about is BAE systems. If anyone has a list please add them.

Sweet Posted 18 hours ago Author Posted 18 hours ago Some of these European defence stocks are up 15+% today.
