Check out @m_dot_brown in the @nytimes talking about gateway conspiracies
Yes, Titanic conspiracy theories may seem relatively harmless. But the concern is a longer-term erosion of the truth. “People who believe in at least one conspiracy theory tend to believe in at least more than one," @m_dot_brown tells @nytimes.
