This article by Miles Mathis critiques an essay by Quassim Cassam titled “Bad Thinkers,” which Mathis argues is an attempt to discredit conspiracy theorists. Mathis contends that Cassam’s essay is riddled with logical fallacies, including creating a strawman named Oliver, begging the question, and using ad hominem attacks. Mathis further claims that Cassam fabricates evidence and uses dishonest debating tactics. He also questions Cassam’s background and motivations, suggesting he is a tool of the CIA and possibly influenced by his Gujarati heritage and the merchant class. Mathis then diverges into a lengthy discussion about Anwar al-Awlaki, questioning his alleged role and suggesting he was a CIA asset. The article concludes with Mathis dismissing Cassam’s proposed solutions for dealing with “bad thinkers” as hypocritical and ineffectual, and suggesting the article was commissioned by the CIA.
