Except:

Don’t Be Surprised When People Have Opinions Different From Your Crazy One

Now we’re getting into the more complex areas of not sounding crazy — not just superficial changes but actually adjusting the content of what you’re saying — so some of you extremely crazy people may want to jump off here and just concentrate on the first four tips I gave you.

Still with me? Anyway, if someone expresses an opinion that’s well known to be held by a supermajority of people, don’t act surprised by that opinion. For instance, I’ve seen atheists act shocked when they hear someone believes in God — even though surveys say something like nine in ten Americans believe in God, so there is no reason to be surprised by that.

And there are truthers who are so amazed anyone can believe the government’s story on 9/11, even though it should be pretty obvious by now that most people believe terrorists are behind it all and have moved on. Now, it’s okay to have an opinion that’s different from most people’s — on some occasions the majority of people are wrong — you just need to have the self-awareness that you hold a minority opinion. If you act surprised when someone expresses an opinion held by most people, it just makes it seem like you’re from Neptune. If 85% of people believe something and you honestly can’t even understand why people would believe that, that means you’re a crazy person whose brain doesn’t work like normal people’s. You want to hide that fact.

held by a supermajority of people...

surveys say...

believe the government’s story on 9/11, even though it should be pretty obvious by now that most people believe terrorists are behind it all and have moved on.

That's a well written article, but 9/11 is the wrong example to use. It is simply untrue to suggest that a supermajority completely believe the government's official story.

Surveys have about 40% of the public believing that the government at least had foreknowledge and then choose to allow it to happen. 50% want another investigation into building 7. Those numbers are around 10% higher for polls of New York City residents.

Also, when people get polled about building 7, the average person has no idea what that even refers to. If before being asked the poll question, they were shown a video of the collapse and told a few basic facts about it, then the percent of people wanting more investigation would likely be even higher.
