An Erotics of Conspiracy Theories

• Synarchy

Oh, the orgasmic delight of being one who knows the truth …

A clue to the real attraction of conspiracy theories, I would suggest, lies in the rhetoric of theorists themselves, which is filled with self-congratulatory descriptions of those who accept such theories as “willing to think,” “educated,” “independent-minded,” and so forth, and with invective against the “uninformed” and “unthinking” “sheeple” who “blindly follow authority.” The world of the conspiracy theorist is Manichean: either you are intelligent, well-informed, and honest, and therefore question all authority and received opinion; or you accept what popular opinion or an authority says and therefore must be stupid, dishonest, and ignorant. There is no third option.

I would hope that all people can think for themselves and be able to see the difference in any catorgory being spoken of..I think once you are able (indivisually to be aware of the natural...and the supernatural. I think that once a person can understand that there is always a format in the way things operate that they then can regoconize that yes there is much to learn as a indivisual but then there is also awareness that a supernatural world is operating at the same very time certain people are trying to figure every thing out see the point is that there is crime going on in the spiritual realm just at the same time there is miracals going on happening with the help of the spiritual realm and having a awareness and a understanding of this will certainly be able to help (unsolved mysteries)ufo's)sightings etc) until one is taught from the main source of energy itself how can one be able to ever understand?It could and would only be theory..or something called faith..or something called trust....see once a human being is choose to work with the main source from the main source all which was mystery becomes answered on a indivisual basis..thats usually how the main source of energy works...

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about An Erotics of Conspiracy Theories. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
