We all have a theory. Which we use to protect ourselves The theory is always a metaphor, a myth, a symbol, an image  It is not literal truth But it is signalling truth that can only be told in this way. To tell the truth directly puts us in danger So we use a theory instead to say it and stay out of danger Why is truth dangerous to me? Because it means a must confess my complicity in the actual truth It is that I have submitted my eternal god given freedom, to authority on the earth, wilfully  And that public revelation will bring guilt and shame on me at least Perhaps physical pain and death too. By others who have not yet seen this possibility  So I signal truth using a myth, a conspiracy theory. Tell me again, what is this truth? Just that. That it's not a cabal of wealth and power who are forcing me to submit my obedience to them It's much worse That I have wilfully submitted it, by free choice, to gain the validation of the tribe, on the earth. This validation from s...

WIP Here is a classic example of: a conspiracy theory being used to tell a truth which cannot be told in any other way Hiroshima Revisited by Michael Palmer It's claim is that nuclear weapons have never existed. The book is low quality and does not enforce its theory well. But I'm not pointing this out to discredit it at all. On the contrary, I'm saying this is a classic exposition of a conspiracy theory being used to talk about a truth, with cannot be talked about in any other way. And those forwarding it should be held in higher esteem than those not doing so.  As always I'm not saying these theories are truth or should be used to make policy. I am saying they are being used to signal an actual truth far upstream which cannot be told directly and literally for fear of the harm that will cause the messenger. And the signalling is not done consciously by the messenger and this is why its pointless trying to reason with them using logic and reason. Following is how this ...

A Conspiracy Theory, is a Truth, Which Cannot Be Told in Any Other Way. It is not a lie. It is tribally epistemic. And is obedience centric. Obedience to the tribe is driving the theory far more than anything else. Especially the literal truth. So a conspiracy theory, is signaling truth, in myth and symbol, because that is the only way to signal it. It cannot be done literally for various highly rational reasons.  Several primary reasons might be: 1) by speaking it too literally may see you sent into exile by the tribe because it is forbidden language and knowledge 2) by speaking it too literally you may surreptitiously be found complicit in the very problem you're signalling 3) by speaking it too literally might place you in a position of significant shame and guilt Whatever the reason is for any particular theory, there is always danger involved, usually in the form of a serious threat by the tribe(collective or constituency). And this danger is the reason these truth...

Why not use commentary from the field as a good exposition of how to respond? As follows: "If one has ever seen some of the, man on the street videos, where young people are asked simple questions about our government and history and the answers they give. Oh boy, I would say their dumb down program is working perfectly !!!" Thank you for your comment. I would say younger people have ALLOWED THEMSELVES to be conditioned in this way just like their parents have allowed it before them. And just like their children will do one day too. It's not a fair analysis to say the state or a cabal of wealth and power have conditioned them. Or manipulated them. Or coerced them.  For every choice anyone of us makes, "I am" the final arbiter in that choice. Yes, when I am uninformed, I have a tendency to submit to authority - by making an appeal to it, and accepting their wisdom prima facie, rather than doing the right thing which is to FIND OUT. And if I cannot find out within...
