I felt that way as a teenager but now as an adult it’s like a switch flipped and I find them insufferable. Memes within niche communities are still good though.
I think this is a good mindset to have. Dismissing every conspiracy/dissenting opinion as “crazy” just serves to further alienate and radicalize the people who believe them.
From what I’ve seen, there’s usually an intuitive (but misguided) reasoning behind conspiracies. Like, it’s easy to call everyone who’s worried about 5G a senseless fucking idiot, but 5G signals are literally microwave radiation. It’s not that much of a stretch to assume they could be harmful. They just miss the part about the power of the radiation not being strong enough to do any damage.
If you’re interested in computer architecture/embedded systems, you gotta watch Ben Eater videos. His series of building a 6502 computer really helped computer architecture click for me.
