| Conspiracy Theories (Figuring Things Out, Level One) In attempt to explain why things are wrong in the world many people latch on to various conspiracy theories in an attempt to ease the discomfort of seeing something wrong but not understanding why. A conspiracy theory needs a villain, an objective, a method, and an effect. Most attempts to use a conspiracy theory to explain some event fall short in one or more of these areas. The journalistic “Who, How, When, Where, What, and Why” are usually not fully answered.   A basic problem with a conspiracy theory is that one has to assume a higher level of human competence than one usually encounters. Additionally, it can be sometimes difficult to understand the how and the why of a conspiracy. Most conspiracy theories act like an anti-anxiety pill. It makes you feel better because you think you understand why things are wrong. Sometimes so much comfort comes from thinking you have the answer, that any challenge is a threat to be defended against. Most conspiracy theories fail a test of logic. But most are not intended to be intellectual answers, but emotional salve. Since this book is intended to seek truth, we will not stop at the most convenient answer that feels good.  The Christian explanation of the ultimate conspirator, Satan, is often ridiculed by those that see such a character as imaginary or mythological like Zeus or Loki. However, the bible describes him as a person that sets the course of the world (for now and insofar as he is allowed by God). We can even learn of some of his intentions and ambitions. From this we can also surmise his influence. For example, God instituted different languages at the tower of Babel to limit our collective attempts. However since Satan cannot be everywhere at once, he seeks to restore and advance collectives to be able to leverage his influence with the ultimate objective of making a play to rule the earth. A centuries long human cabal pulling off a conspiracy is unlikely as any parent knows the next generation will go it’s own way. However, a powerful being working since creation to his own ends is a more plausible theory.   One might see a centuries long advancement of the collectivization of mankind such that we are now at the point that it is difficult to even imagine what life was like before the Industrial Revolution, corporations, and invasive government. |
