The anti-orthodox bedroom hobbyist.
The majority of conspiracy theorists fall into the category of 'anti-orthodox bedroom hobbyist' with no little or no background knowledge. They surround themselves in anti-orthodox literature and as a consequence, only have a sketchy second-hand understanding of the established facts they argue against. They are commonly hostile and dismissive of universities, governments and commerce. I don't want to get into a philosophical dissection of the faulty logic of conspiracy theory, but all I will say is that if you are determined to ignore the basis upon which all evidence based knowledge is built, and surround yourself instead with UFOs, Big Foot, and shape-shifting aliens, it is hardly surprising that you wake up one day and realise you are David Icke.
