lol

conspiracy theories are as old as humanity

they used to be called "myths" and serve many useful social purposes

don't have to be literally true fot that

A strict interpretation of epistemology would find all knowledge arbitrary, thus a conspiracy theory. That statement, by the way, is itself a conspiracy theory.

hah, I wanted to add that to my previous comment, but decided it's a rabbit hole

I made a list of common "conspiracy theories" in the order from the least to most probable according to my judgement and drew the "line" of what I am willing to consider plausible slightly above the "no plane hit the Pentagon on 9/11". Firmly below the line are the flat Earth, no Moon landings, and the chem trails. Aliens are slightly above the line. I am skeptical on the abductions, though

If UFOs, then aliens. Can't have one without the other. The technology is too advanced for the government unless they reverse-engineered it.

I never paid attention to the rest (flat Earth, Moon landings, and chem trails), so I didn't research them. Was not all that interested in UFOs either. But the covid lies in the NYT woke me up. I now question everything. Once you start questioning the universe supplies answers. It's like the universe is conscious and Interactive.

I've heard researchers say that once you get someone to believe there are structures on the far side of the moon, everything then becomes possible. It's the first step that's the big leap.

From what I've learned from many different directions alien abductions actually are real. Once you consider alien abductions as real, the whole ball of string starts to unravel. Covid has caused many people to wake up and question, and that leads eventually to outer space alien abductions. Just a matter of time before everyone gets there. Until you start looking, and until you are there, you cannot imagine that it is possible. It really seems like something is messing with your mind blocking it. But once you reevaluate your unexamined assumptions it appears obvious and your now expanded awareness feels good. Something Big far beyond covid really is happening. Something impossible is happening. We need to re-evaluate our programming regarding what is impossible.
