8/7/26 - Friday Video Share: "The Internet Thinks Helen Keller Was a Fraud..."

The Internet Thinks Helen Keller Was a Fraud...
Molly Burke - June 30, 2026

I flagged this video about a month ago when it first came out, but just now watched it. Molly does a great job of debunking one of the more thorough, though no less ridiculous, Hellen Keller conspiracy theories. I learned a lot from this video – about what, specifically the skeptics think, and why there is so much less to be skeptical about than they believe. There are good lessons here on logic and logical fallacies, too. But I also learned a lot I didn't know just about being blind. Whether you think Hellen Keller conspiracy theories are totally nonsensical, or wonder if there might be a little something to them, watch this video.

Have a restful weekend!
