When governments and official bodies falsely claim credibility


No source of information can be taken as credible unless it can continously fend off all contradiction as that is the only means by which a source of information can be deemed to be credible.

In other words, there is no such thing as an unquestionable source of information.  Any party that claims credibility and demonises contradiction, hence, immediately ceases to be credible as they are attempting to remove the only means by which they can be proven to be credible.

In the scientific field, the word that is used is HYPOTHESIS not 'falsehood' or misinformation. Without hypothesis, there is no science.  

Terming a hypothesis or contradiction as 'falsehood', 'misinformation', etc, is illogical and downright nonsensical as that disables the very engine that drives science forward.

Finally, there is no such thing as 'silly conspiracy theories'.  All ideas and perspectives give us an opportunity to test our beliefs.  

I'm curious about difference as it might point to something I've overlooked. So i consider everything.  That is the cognitively mature way to approach and therefore appreciate reality to the fullest.
