Good use of Keanu meme, as he recently fell for and is promoting a conspiracy theory (ancient civilizations).
Throwing a line from Hitman in the mix to make it more confusing:
“If it looks like a conspiracy, it probably isn’t.”
Why does it look like that then? Tananananana 🎵
Also: when conspiracy theories are convenient ways to avoid havig to understand how things work.
And this a very common mindset, because most societies (some more than others) take children’s* innate curiosity and pound it flat for the sake of efficiency by way of standardisation. It really is a shame, since we waste a lot of potential as a species this way.
e: a word
I don't believe a lot of conspiracy theories, but I do have some conspiracy hypotheses
I have conspiracy speculations
I have conspiracy guestimations
Sometimes when I'm alone I have conspiracy masturbations
When you are at the Diddy party and you have a conspiracy ejaculation:
I'm just glad to see "whoa" spelled correctly.
I just love how the conspiracies reinforce each-other in the most convenient ways.
"Anyone who doesn't get vaxed is going to be put in a FIMA concentration camp!"
"What? That's crazy, where's the evidence of that?!"
"You can't find it because they're censoring everything on the Internet."
So now, not finding evidence of conspiracy 1 is evidence for conspiracy 2!
"You can find the truth at www.truthfindarz.net, but I don't go there because it's full of conspiracies."
facepalm
I'm disappointed that's not a real link lol
Conversely, everything is a conspiracy when you do understand how things work.
It’s important to understand the prevalence of coincidence and incompetence. Humans are exceptional at pattern-finding – too good, really. In order to think critically, we need to recognise our own tendency to find patterns where none exist.
Underrated comment
Everyone's conspiring folks. What's hard to measure, is who's conspiring
It's only a conspiracy theory if it's not a proven conspiracy.
That's what they want you to believe!
