@Hasbin; I'm a little confused.
1) I state that I have noticed a trend in conspiracy theories to have a superiority complex.
2) You point out that that is no reason to dismiss all conspiracy theories. I agree with you on this point. I just think the superior attitude is not beneficial to spreading the theory.
3) I state that I am moderately sceptical of IRS theory based on the 1 page spread he presented.
4) I state that I am attempting to torrent it, but would like more information because the torrent is moving very slowly (3.2% at this moment).
5) IRS refuses to provide more information, showing precisely the superior attitude that I have found in previous research on conspiracy theories.
6) I say that more information would be helpful for understanding the theory.

You jump in at this point, seeming to confuse the fact that I am not necessarily referring to all conspiracy theories, but just a trend I have seen when investigating them thus far. I have done a fair bit of reading (not only youtube videos and online, but also in psychological and historical journals and physical books from both sides of the pro and anti conspiracy theory sides), but have not encountered the author IRS specifically mentioned. The conspiracy theories that have seen most reasonable are the ones that avoid the superior attitude. I am not trying to dismiss all conspiracy theories; I think several (but not all) have valid and interesting things to say. But even as I find facts and ideas very interesting (and true, some of the time), I often find the method and tone poor for explaining the ideas contained in even the most-likely true of conspiracy theories.

Now I'm confused as to what part of this you disagree with.

@Banned: Good videos (though some of the content isn't true, most noticably and obviously with the first video) I had seen the first 3, but the last one I only had found clips of. I'll watch the rest this afternoon probably.
