Here's an interesting article from Newsweek on conspiracy theories. Enjoy. http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/labn...ss-do-i-have-a-conspiracy-theory-for-you.aspx
In other words, if you don't mindlessly buy into the BS which the corporate media (which Newsweek is) spews, and you actually do your own research and think for yourself (something most people are incapable of), well, it just means that psychologically you feel powerless, and that thinking for yourself and asking questions is merely a defense mechanism in response to a crazy world that seems beyond some people's grasp. The only truth is that which is delivered to you by corporations and their lapdogs in media, and if you question these sources and their validity, well then you're just a crazy conspiracy theorist and should not be believed. Instead, you should be belittled and ridiculed for not regurgitating sound bites you heard on CNN or FOX. Is that the gist of it? The funny thing is, for the past several years I have seen articles being churned out, seemingly one after the other, almost exactly like this, with almost the exact same wording and citing the exact same reasons why more and more people are beginning to embrace these so-called "conspiracy theories." Geez, you would think these people are little Carl Jungs or something, since they apparently know so much about psychology and what makes people tick. The establishment and its media are both running scared over the fact that so many people are waking up to their lies and learning the truth. So they're working overtime to try and discredit anyone who talks about anything with any real importance at all. This is the media's modus operandi. It isn't to get you to think, but to condition you how to think. This is why they put out blatant propaganda in articles like this.
Actually, if you read carefully, Newsweek is just reporting on a piece from Science, concerning a scientific study. Nothing political about it at all.
No, but the fact that the mainstream media outlets have been reporting this same story for the past 5 years leads me to believe there is an agenda behind it. If not, they probably wouldn't be giving it so much attention.
That it. It explains religion to a tee. People feel out of control so they come up with a conspiricy theory of a creator to explain it. Just goes to show you that it is only a conspiracy when the majority don't buy into it.
