Intro/Ethics/Social and Political Philosophy: How Conspiracy Theory works Rationally in NYC: The World Trade Center Catastrophe
Let's consider this basic explanation of Conspiracy and its theory—its explanatory power—as applied to 9/11 and the destruction of the World Trade Centers. The original problem involved engineering arguments that the planes could not have brought down the towers. So there must have been additional factors. Particularly, there must have been a prearranged controlled demolition. The reasoning here has some merit.
But now we first encounter a more radical and yet simpler challenge: This sets the stage for the No Planes video hoax theory; yes, on this view, and not without reason, these videos could have been faked. The result? Millions of innocent people died in the wars that, over time, followed. This is the accusation of the skeptic. Let’s examine this on the basis of evidence. As millions died in the wars that followed. We do this not to resolve the issue, but to illustrate Epistemology in our real world. A world that is not likely to change.
