I'm willing to bet 80-90% of what is thrown around in the conspiracy theory world is either an outright lie, misconstrued data, disinformation, misinformation, delusional thinking, or third party repeaters. I'm still waiting for the "purple monkey dishwasher" on the end of everyone playing telephone, because it seems very few people come out with original verifiable information. Most come out with things someone else said months or even years ago and then they get together and go "Uh huh, you know, too." There is so much conflicting information (I won't call it evidence because it's not) that some people either don't know what they're talking about or think it's true but, really, it's not.
I have not watched all of PC's videos or looked at all of their information, but from personal experience I can call four people right off the bat. Two more I could say are wrong most of the time based on evidence and logic, and the last I want to do some tests on. That's seven who are not credible in my mind. If I had the time, I could probably double that list. Having letters behind your name means nothing, by the way. There are just as many incompetent PhDs and MDs as there are not. Education does not make you any less susceptible to being human, and to err is human. And everyone's BS detector doesn't work the same all the time. If you are in a bad place, you are looking for someone to blame, so anything you can get your hands on feels good, but if you're in a really great place, most of this stuff feels like excrement. One of the reasons I stay away from here most of the time. As for something being the truth, the truth is subjective. It's like having a hardcore atheist and a christian fundamentalist battle it out. They can debate all day, but when the cows come home, you're in the same place you were when you started: hearsay and conjecture. I think people should do their own research that IS NOT reading things off the internet. Go out and ask people and hound for the information. Sniff it out yourself. Too many people take too many things at face value. Was it not Stalin who said something about whoever controls the media controls the masses? Well whoever controls the fringe media, and this would be considered fringe media, controls the fringe. Even if something were to happen, the conspiracy theorists would still be fighting amongst themselves arguing about who is right. You can speculate day in and day out, but what does that get you? Talk it cheap. All I know is I want something better than this society, so that is what I am creating. Last edited by TtC; 08-20-2009 at 07:46 PM. Reason: spelling |
