This isn't that useful.
So I was thinking. Conspiracy theories are awesome and entertaining, but I don't put much stock in a lot of them. Some, perhaps, but they need to have a lot of evidence in their favor for me to think okay, this may be on to something. However, the ones involving the Illuminati annoy me. Illuminati being the super-duper secret group of individuals that mastermind everything that happens EVER in order to establish a New World Order. It's like the Consortium in X-Files, minus the awesomeness.
Actually, now that I think about it, those theorists that claim the Illuminati are the reason for everything are like the religious people who say everything happened because of God, or the people, mostly Republicans, who claim every bad thing that happened, is happening, or will happen, is all Obama's fault. Perhaps people, in general, are all infused with a sense of paranoia. It is just translated into something different, according to each person - nefarious shadow governments, omniscient deities, or an ordinary guy.
Anyhoo, my original point was that conspiracy theories are just entertainment for me. Amusing, but I won't take stock in most of them. They can seem down right bizarre. But there are things I do have some fascination for that is equally as bizarre.
One, for example, is a part of the M-theory. Basically, our universe is located on one of a great series of membranes in a vast hyperspace. Each membrane could contain great numbers of universes. But the thing is, known of it is actually known, beyond the math.
So what's weirder: the FDA purposely putting out false information about healthy diets to ensure the populations will get fatter and the medical industry will continue to profit, or that there are many universes that exist in the same place, just on a different dimensional plane.
Are conspiracy theories crazy? Is science crazy?
Do I even have a point anymore? No, not really.
