If you think conspiracy theorists are narcissistic, wait until you meet the debunkers, debunking, prebunking, and dismissing without evidence, hoping you'll change your mind based on their will to change it. Nothing is more self-centered than saying your narrow interpretation of the data is the only valid conclusion.
