Brilliant article describing what discerning truth requires.
I’ve a few paradigm busting articles. One that logically dismisses the gaseous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide: We breathe air not oxygen
The other one: How does salt restriction lead to heart dis-ease and fear based reactionary thinking? It reveals why compliance is chosen over resistance because of stress intolerance. Click on my blue icon to read them.
We have been living in a false reality. I would like to be part of the lever that changes this. The COMMONS/people must reclaim science from non-science by reviewing and scrutinising the foundations of establishment’s stories (the story or theory) and models. Due diligence is our weapon.
Great write-up! You make a lot of really good points. It's nice to encounter someone who's thought deeply about conspiracies and how they work. It's also a bit unnerving in that some of your thinking on the subject eerily reflects my own... As per whether or not a large conspiracy can exist which transcends many decades or generations without being exposed, perhaps the best argument of all is the historical evidence that such a conspiracy in fact exists. What if I told you that technically, I can prove the existence of the conspiracy that is not only behind much, if not all of the present insanity but that of the past as well? Twenty-five years ago I hypothesized the existence of a *Malthusian* conspiracy that could explain some things I was becoming aware of at the time. I did a deep dive into history in search of the conspiracy and found much evidence of it almost immediately. I started out by creating an historical chronology which over time I populated with various events of interest... Although the conspiracy originated in Europe, I've mostly limited my research to America's history and thus far I've traced it back to roughly the start of the 19th century.
This is a fantastic piece of work, good job!! Everything backed up from much earlier events in history gives a clear picture of the lengths that are being taken today to hide truth, or make truth unbelievable. The thesis and the antithesis come from the same side, and language as a whole has been perverted to accommodate the conspirators. For me it’s a feeling I know something is wrong not just because of odds and human condition but because I can feel it!!! Great piece
Perhaps the fact that 'conspiracy to commit' anything brings criminal sentences that outweigh that of actually committing it, moreover, even if the act they were planning was foiled before the opportunity was had, still.. the sentence upon a guilty finding, far outweighs the bank that they might have robbed.
This more than anything, these punitive measures encoded with the criminal justice system, arguably the deterrents, could be cited as a basis in support of the argument that conspiracies really don't exist, despite the need for a Czar like Cass Sunstein to drive that message home. ;-)
I'm commenting only to make sure that EVERYONE understands your key point: The harsher the potential punishment, the greater will be the measures taken to deny, hide or obfuscate the fact that any crime occurred at all...and the greater the cognitive dissonance among those who have political affinity with the accused, especially when their desire to have their agenda implemented is stronger than their dislike of criminality.
Thanks - I was dancing a bit there.. In late 2013 I wrote a comment in an online publication that directly responded to an op-ed By C.S..
I hadn't factored the blow back that would prove more than commensurate with a 'letter of month award' that a few people were ready to nominate me for..
I willfully put that name out of my mind thereafter until just recently actually,.. like a bad dream..
except I succeeded in that I could not recall it without willful effort -only recently , merited.
The flippant dismissal of anything involving 'Conspiracy Theory' is by no means a fast track to achieving the rank of detective.
"It is much... more common, for the powers-that-be, if they are confronted with unpalatable truth, first to try to corrupt it and, if they do not succeed, to try to discredit it and, if they do not succeed in that, to silence it...."
You need a better editor and to read some Philip K Dick (more if you have already read some). I have yet to meet a "conspiracy theorist" who's critical of their conspiracy theories. However, I also believe it is part of human nature to keep what you have and get more if possible. Most want life to move in their favor. When it doesn't, we all scramble to make it better for ourselves. It's how we survive to procreate and how we keep power familial. You've got some very salient points in this article, but could use more knowledge on language and how it is used in the most common vernaculars of today; how it is used to perpetuate individual's and group's agendas, their survival through generations, 'cause too many egos want to survive past death. "The Art of the Deal" is a good place to start after Plato, Aristotle, Luther, Machiavelli, Calvin, Locke, etc up through today (too many brilliant thinkers to name in a comment). Recommend "Mein Kampf" right after "The Art of the Deal", btw.
You hear something or read something and guess what? It's always a conspiracy theory until it is proven to be otherwise. Virtually everything is a theory until the truth of it, if ever, comes to be known.
You have to create a critical mass who are no longer willing to accept the evil and/or the lies. That's why and how the Soviet Union ceased to exist, without anyone firing a shot.
It requires the incessant repetition of the truth, using short, concise, compelling tidbits that are easily digestible by most of the audience. It's how one can eventually overcome cognitive dissonance. That's why memes are so effective.
Having only read this Mar 10 I believe one can map a C theory roughly with a circle. The more you map the more entanglement. So slightly overlap a 1C on a clock or a 7C, others overlap many circles to varying degrees. The most discoverable irregularities lie at or near the circumferences unless covered by a neighboring circle.
The most powerful circle may appear small but will overlap many circles.
The nature of nature.
This style of diagramming can be used for all kinds of relationships
The picture of a black man mentions "President Hoover" in the 60s and 70s. There was not a President Hoover then. Are you referring to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover?

McLuhan.. Well done -there's plenty more :-)
@The Starfire Codes I’d be interested in your thoughts on this…
Thank you, I particularly noted
"It is much... more common, for the powers-that-be, if they are confronted with unpalatable truth, first to try to corrupt it and, if they do not succeed, to try to discredit it and, if they do not succeed in that, to silence it...."
And remember, conspiracy is just the planning & working together. They also DO all those bad things.
I came out the womb a conspiracy theorist!
Just as your neurobiology equipped you for, dealing with reality as any moment likely to present you with a grave threat to your existence.

A derogatory term given to a critical thinker.
You hear something or read something and guess what? It's always a conspiracy theory until it is proven to be otherwise. Virtually everything is a theory until the truth of it, if ever, comes to be known.
But almost all the Conspiracy theories that get traction are found true-ish
Need a maker of memes
Many are clear in the mind’s eye…
This is brilliant!
But are we all naive?
Is it good to be naive and uninformed?
Can we break up conspiracy without a public revolt?
If exposure to a conspiracy is insufficient for change, what measures short of revolt actually work when major powers are involved?

Thanks for the stimulant.

I didn't make that meme, and failed to notice that it said "President Hoover," when it should have said "FBI Director Hoover." Good catch!
