HN is very conspiracy theory and misinformation infused. I have seen more flatearthers, antiwaxers and other kinds of crazy on HN than Facebook, Twitter and TikTok combined. It's probably people here are smart in one field and automatically think they are smart in others. Or it's just the heavy drug use.

Or it could be as simple as motivated reasoning.
Someone I go to for hair grooming is a conspiracy nut. For _some reason_ they have been making odd comments about how they haven't seen as many chemtrails in the air since late January.
