Most conspiracy theories

[sl@ppy]

I love conspiracy. I read a book by Robert Anton Wilson a long time ago and his introduction was really interesting.
He talked about speaking around the world and said every speech he asks the same question. 'Please raise your hand if you ever tell any agent of the government the whole truth'.
He said he has never had anyone raise their hand. His conclusion is most government based conspiracies about oppression are simply that we lie to our leaders and consequently our leaders are passing laws for the populace they think they are governing, but aren't.
I always liked that. it makes sense.

911 is indeed a conspiracy. just not a theory.

People denigrating others for they trying to seek objective patterns and motives are just self-centered lazy retards.

Yeah, I love Robert Anton Wilson. I consider him a modern philosopher. You ever see Robert Anton Wilson Explains everything?

This is a short version but there is a full available:

I like when he talks about the hermetic tradition. Find out what happens when you do this...

"Many Christian writers, including Emerson, Lactantius, Thomas of Aquinas, Augustine, Giordano Bruno, Marsilio Ficino, Campanella and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola considered Hermes Trismegistus to be a wise pagan prophet who foresaw the coming of Christianity."

Newton and his failure in alchemy:

"Due to the threat of punishment and the potential scrutiny he feared from his peers within the scientific community, Newton may have deliberately left his work on alchemical subjects unpublished. "

Feel like bitcoin is partly like that at least in the beginning (find out what happens when you do x).

Everything is a conspiracy

There are a lot of theories.

Theories supported by evidence become fact.

<Insert crazy huge leap in logic with no evidence to back up the theory>

Generalization and stereotypes are great for pontification, but not of much use for reality because they falsify nothing (Hint: your OP is meaningless noise to add to the meaningless noise of those whom you criticize).

Except when you are dealing with a man who records all the data:

Notice the connection to 9/11 with a confirmation letter from the SEC to the man in prison (illegally and tortured).
