point of theory is to gain understanding, no? but if you're using theory as a stick to beat other people with, and if the theory is preventing people looking at the data (that you could turn into understanding), or if it's not falsifiable, then it's not helping.
you can't disprove the government creates all this as a psyop. but that 'theory' discourages people from taking the evidence seriously. you also can't disprove 'it is all aliens' but that theory discourages (perhaps another set of people) from taking the data seriously.
theories are good! except when they're not. and in this case they've gone fucking crazy. it's like sportsteams. there's no rationality. and science won't touch it, that's the problem. these pathetic theories are in way. they might be fun (to cheer for) but they're not helping understanding.
that's what i'm saying. that's the problem. or one of them, duh.
