I am really sick of idiots and there millions of conspiracy theories. As someone who was once one of those stoned idiots I thought I would provide some much needed insight for those baffled by their faulty logic. Conspiracy theories primarily do two things for their adherents: provide an explanation for why they are powerless in the world around them, provide a community which talks about 'rising up' so they feel empowered and less weak.

For example we have the Zeitgeist films, roughly four hours total of horror stories about how the human race is being manipulated. Backed by faulty economics (as if the only kind of currency in all invention is Government fiat money), flawed arguments regarding 9/11 which I talk about later, and that Verichip will rule us all.

Verichip is easy to ride off because it has been plauged with security vulnerabilities. The chip is insanely easy to copy and always will be. RFID chips are thus unreliable identification. In any case, even if all money was on a chip, gold and other things would still have intrinsic value.

9/11 is easy to ride off because of physics, when one slab hits another the momentum on the bottom slab doubles, and again on the next slab. Speed of the fall increases exponentially past that, buildings are designed to pancake rather than destroy neighboring buildings in a fall. Ask a fucking engineer. It is also worth pointing out that the building was made of shitty alloys, with a shittier melting point.

THERE IS NO SINGLE MELTING POINT OF STEEL, IT DEPENDS HOW IT WAS ALLOYED.

More important to analyze than the poorly educated arguments of the "truth" movement is the mentality behind it. As I've mentioned, many years ago, I've been there. Then I learned about Objectivism, logical fallacies, and skepticism. The attractive thing to most young people about these conspiracy theories is they make them feel elite and better than normal people. It makes them feel like non-conformists, in the same way gothic and emo culture does for other young people.

The movement itself is about pressuring other people at every chance to follow the religion as well. Simple group psychology takes hold, and the viewings of all these conspiracy documentaries occur in a group setting. Most the time these people spend it talking in a circle jerk of positive feedback on the theory, and BANG a whole heap of morons believe in it.

Much like in the great depression in Germany, when things were blamed on a jewish conspiracy originally started in the fabricated book The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, it is said there is a high up group that intentionally causes business cycles.

In fact, all that really creates business cycles and nasty recessions is welfare statism. The fractional reserve monopoly enforced by the welfare statists ensures they can fund their programs through inflation. How does Inflation work? Simple, the money supply expands which bids up asset prices and eventually your bread and butter. There is no magic behind it.

Likewise, business cycles occur because the central banks are pressured into having abnormally low interest rates. Central bank rates are another area where conspiracy theorist are mystified and frightened. Interest rates are the price of money. When they are too low, the value of money is low, and the market is inclined towards short-term spending. This always blows up a bubble, Greenspans insanity caused this crisis, Barnanke's insanity has led to a short term bull run on the dow that will catch a lot of people by surprise.

All in all, conspiracy theorists are juvenile and often of questionable mental status. If you are a conspiracy faggot, learn all about logical fallacies, watch the videos again on your own. Analyze, don't just adsorb. Who knows? You might just find a real conspiracy.
