I suppose I don't have a favorite right now, because I'm really burned out on (tens of millions of) people in my country denying huge chunks of objective reality or scientific consensus to fit whatever their worldview needs to be in each moment. It's dangerous.
In the past, JFK has been my favorite. I was 11 or 12 when I saw the really damaging Oliver Stone filth, and of course I believed it like most of America despite it being almost completely fabricated. Also a favorite was Holocaust denial. It's by far the most well-documented crime in history, but the lengths people go to deny or twist it are extraordinary. I tried putting myself in their shoes for a week, reading their claims and stuff without being too critical, and that was an interesting experiment. One takeaway is that it's not really that hard to close yourself off from facts and drink the koolaid, even if you're smart. You can choose to do that.
Oh, and I could probably be persuaded that "The Dress" was just a hoax/social experiment.
If it's so well documented and understood, why is it illegal in Europe to question it's validity or deny it? They will throw you in jail.
Sounds like they don't want people looking any further into. I wonder why?
