>>386I think conspiracy theories are interesting and funny like "what if" stories, like the Dresden Files, but only as long as nobody gets hurt…
I hate the thought that some people take the reptilian thing seriously, or the UFO pyramid stuff and whatever. The concept of reptilian people sounds so cool, like in fantasy stories and the sort of interspecies romance books I like to read, yet, some insist on making it a euphemism for juice or whatever else they're rallying against, it's disgusting.
If I met a snake man, I'd wanna know if he has two dicks and not assume that he's secretly part of some secret society that has magical powers or whatever. And if snake men with two dicks existed, they absolutely would show it off, there's no doubt in my mind that if any of that was real, we'd have really good evidence for it.
Instead, it often just boils down to the invisible demon in your room, you can't see it, you can't touch it, it supposedly does things that coincidentally could be done by the cat and there's just no way to prove its existence because it can also control your mind to forget it and it's also indestructible or whatever and just… It's just so damn ludicrous. And then people pretend like the demon went to possess the cat when it was just running around and acting goofy and boom, dead cat, thanks for nothing conspiracy nuts. Like yeah, it's good to question things, but you actually have to find ways to verify your conjecture and think about how the world would be different if what you're imagining just isn't true at all. What if aliens didn't build the pyramids? Then people did it. Is that unlikely? No, humans can build pyramids, why wouldn't they have built them thousands of years ago? It sounds like a cool project, humans love making cool stuff.
I don't think there's any conspiracy theories I really believe in, like, sure, I'll have my doubts about some things and entertain possibilities but I'll need some good evidence that isn't debunked 100 times over and it should actually make some sense and not just hint at someone having made it up just to be racist, to sell their books and merch or whatever agenda they were following.
Like, some things just align with the kind of world we live in. Yes, doctors do try to sell you unnecessary surgeries to make more money, there's plenty of evidence for it and yeah, there's a lot of corruption aro
