rr-bb.com/showthread.php?t=107328For all the talk of the end times there, this thread struck me as surprisingly anticlimactic: it appears to me that two irrational beliefs (the Rapture and the black hole catastrophe) have completely cancelled each other out, leading to an almost-rational discussion of how ridiculous such alarmist notions are.

It's something I like to call the principle of exclusionary insanity. The more you believe one particular conspiracy theory/anti-scientific drivel/etc., the less likely you are to believe others, because they become mutually exclusive.
