Years ago, I was part of the CHiP Forum Romania. (Now the website doesn’t exist.)
At some point, there was a talk about the USA’s invasion of Iraq.
People kept saying, as if it was the most natural thing in the world – „the politicians are lying about the real reasons for the invasion of Iraq. It’s mostly about oil, but they can’t say it bluntly”.
At that point, I was shocked. I used to believe the public agenda, and it was shocking to hear an opposing view.
Nowadays, conspiracies are everywhere.
It’s a nice exercise to think – what would this be, in a different context?
But, generally, I find that I prefer my closed mind I had in the early 2000s than to constantly think „what’s behind this”.
But, as an exercise, it’s fine to think about conspiracies.
I like this video:
