Comment on How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged?

  This’d be my answer. A friend (former at this point) of mine fell down a conspiracist rabbit hole, and at one point started insisting the moon landings were faked. Now, I happen to know a lot (or more than most, anyhow) about the Apollo program, and absolutely nothing I could say helped. Either they pivoted to some new bullshit argument they’d heard on some YouTube video, or just dismissed things as lies when convenient.

  You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

  Even better, one up them. “You think the Moon is real?!?”

    You believe in the concept of a moon?

      I like my moons like I like my plans: in concept form only.

  To add to that: You can’t reason someone out of an argument they didn’t reason themselves into.
