i wish gothboy could be serious about this. i just now read through this entire thread and im very intrigued on what has to happen to a person to reach this level.
ive read that humanity, as a species, are pattern seeking creatures. if we cant make sense out of a situation, sometimes we'll come up with the answer or stick to the closest thing that actually makes sense to us. conspiracy theorists typically strongly believe in their theories because of the uncertainty their life has dealt them, which in turn, makes them feel powerless. they find purpose and meaning in theories that make sense to them, but in reality actually contradict each other quite profoundly
gothboy, do you subconsciously find power and meaning in the 'fact' that you know the 'truth', but 99% of society doesnt? how do your wife and kids honestly feel about your beliefs, since i imagine you talk to them about these things?
