I'm fairly confident that there's no conspiracy associated with rubber bands.
It's not a conspiracy when everyone agrees to operate by the laws the system orchestrates.
My caution against that would be that all issues and conspiracies thereby become equal, and thus possibly equally banal and non-alarming.
For example, is it really important that the scandalous sex tape that launched the career of Kim Kardashian actually wasn't stolen and copied, but was deliberately spread by the mother?
I mean I'm not sure, but that is one possible conspiracy.
But is it really important?
If people tell little white lies and half-truths on their tax forms, is that a conspiracy against the state collective?
I see so many out there that get swayed by not trusting in themselves, and contridicting information.
Take soap for instance, we could say it is promoted by a society that wants clean people
"everything is a conspiracy". Thats pretty much the general attitude of most people on this website.
...intentionally utterly destroyed any meaningful public discourse, it is simply impossible to have a dialog if concepts and words have lost any ineligible meaning...
Not necessarily finding 'conspiracies' everywhere, but in every instance asking myself, how is this truth being distorted?
What if I said everything is presented in a fashion that is engineered to lead you to believe everything is a conspiracy in order to hide the real conspiracy behind the conspiracies.
Am I the only person in this thread who has read its title?
This is an exercise. Not a claim that everything IS a conspiracy.
Everybody who disagrees with you gets accused of paranoia and being delusional. Mental exercise I have seen none on your part in this thread. To have feet on the ground is useful, but so is having the eyes open.
