    Interesting article on Conspiracy Theory

    Interesting. I don't see a DATE on this article. Have THEY messed with my monitor? Why would an article on the Internet not have a date? Hmmmm.....


    I investigated a conspiracy theory and weird things started happening to me

    India Rakusen

    Have you ever woken up in the dark in an unfamiliar place and felt like something was wrong? That tinny adrenaline taste in your mouth, the taste of fear coursing through your body. In Warsaw, back in October, I experienced this every night.

    I’d wake up in my hotel room to see someone standing at the end of my bed. I could hear breathing, make out the shape of a shoulder in the half-light, hear the shuffle of a foot on the rough hotel carpet. Then I’d switch on the light. Nobody there. Every time.

    While nothing had snuck into my room, something had definitely got into my head.

    Warsaw is a pretty cool city, mixing classic Soviet architecture with a plentiful supply of cheap pickles and vodka. But that’s not why I was there. Last July, a British conspiracy theorist called Max Spiers died under mysterious circumstances in the Polish capital.

    The Post-Mortem was inconclusive and his mother is desperate for answers, so my colleagues and I decided to investigate.

    Ah, CONServatives, the Masters of Projection (MOPs). With CONServatives, every accusation is a confession. Weird, that.

    Whoops. Somehow I didn't get this put into the Conspiracy room where it belongs. My apologies, and Mods, please move it there. Thx.

    Sounds like what I experienced when I stopped drinking once.

    Indeed.

    Further into the article (I suspect that some people here DNRTFA) he gets into some more sober points about cognition, and so forth.

    Personally, I've always tended to believe that conspiracies are likely because I think they are a common mode of natural human action. As opposed to the pop fiction vision of a bunch of hooded characters gathered in a darkened room to Plot The end Of Civilization, a conspiracy is much more likely to be a coinciding of mundane interests with unspoken (possibly even unrealized by each party) agreement on actions. I saw this for decades in businesses. And, yes, it also happens in academia and government. Human nature.

    Really. I have experienced things auditory and visually that have no reason to have happened other than in natural human condition. I would think that these natural hallucinations are the root of supernatural myth.
