This is more deep than just conspiracy theorists, but also applies to them.
Basically you cant let people 'create reality' through lies. The moment you let that, some people will take advantage of it for personal gain and you end up with situations like in US in which people deny actual reality and cripple the society, harming others.

Its the same situation with what Ra says about the thought wars in higher densities and how Confederation ends up having to reject what is offered by negative entities because otherwise they couldnt be positive.
