What conspiracy theories do you believe in? - Put your tinfoil hats on

Good point, schizo rambling yeeted.

If it makes you feel any better for being schizo, a fair number of Christians believe we are not humans having spiritual experiences, but spirits having human experiences. In a related sense, my mom listens to Near Death Experiences and a lot of the people who've had them agree that there are "soul plans," that your soul exists before your body and after, and you kind of pick what life you want to live on Earth. You get to do it over and over.

So even if you came to that conclusion alone, you're not the only one who has. Kind of lends credence to it, if you ask me.

They may not be going to wait until the calendar is flipped.
They may be working toward unifying the global population right now. Might even have been doing it for years.

NDEs have always been weird to me since there doesn't seem to be any real physiological explanation for them.

They're culturally mediated though. There was one article in a medical journal from Indian doctors talking about how patients report seeing Ganesh, Shiva, Vishnu, etc.

Yeah the sun is full of plasma and magnetic fields. The theory is that the plasma and magnetic fields get thrown into super complicated patterns that are at least partially self sustaining. Think of The Game of Life, where a grid of black and white dots with basic rules about whether they are black or white based on their neighbors can form very complicated patterns, or be guided into complex self sustaining patterns.

Plus, there could be some quantum physics or something that we don't understand as we don't have a lot of opportunities to analyze those physics in action.

Imagine being a section of solar plasma that somehow becomes sentient only to have that sentience snuffed out by a sudden rearranging of magnetic fields.

Biden's son that died did not die of cancer, but during an undercover operation as a CIA agent.

As Biden becomes senile he often publicly mentions his son dying in combat, despite there being no record of it.

The timing, and the Biden's family's involvement with Ukraine leads me to suspect he died during an operation against Russia near Crimera. That would explain some of the Democrat loathing against Russia, and that knowledge could be the blackmail material Zelensky uses for funding.

I thoroughly believe that the craziest and most retarded conspiracy theories (flat Earth, etc) are pushed by the government or some intelligence agency specifically to give the term "conspiracy theorists" a negative connotation.

This way if you actually start realizing what the fuck is going on they can just point and say "conspiracy theorist!" and suddenly you have the same standing and credibility as the guy who believes in ancient aliens coming to earth for demonic sex orgies in the eyes of the public.

I find this compelling, but I don't think the most bizarre ones are fake. Flat Earth and certain flavors of Q-anon/Pizzagate are honestly closer to religions than conspiracy theories. They're not really specific theories about anything as much as they're borderline magical worldviews which are simultaneously all encompassing and not really relevant to the believer's daily life.

UFO's, 9-11 theories, JFK theories, in contrast have much more limited scope and serve better to discredit specific potentially dangerous truths.

Q-anon was basically created to discredit the stuff people found during PG... It's when the media lost it's shit and started doing a lot more "fact checking", also the first time most people hear of Epstein, who turns out was indeed trafficking kids to powerful people.

My theory is Flat Earth is to discredit Hallow Earth, no strong feelings on the later but it seems a lot more plausible, stuff like the weird pyramid mountain in Antarctica kinda ties in to it supposedly.

I remember even in 2020 talk from elites about climate change lockdowns and idk man it doesn't seem like they'll get away with it.

I would go as far as saying that the 2020 lockdowns were a test run to see how compliant the population would be when it came time to institute climate change lockdowns.

According to the declassified CIA report on the study of Remote viewing. Religion and Science, through Quantum theory aren't actually at odds. If you subscribe to the Holographic principle.

It posits, there is no such thing as physical matter. The Universe is entirely energy. Matter is just energy, molecules, lattices, of increasingly complex energy fields oscillating at a frequencies which would constitute the "physical reality bandwidth". Similar to say how we only perceive the world along the visible light spectrum of the electromagnetic bandwidth.



Consciousness is also an energy field, but it would seem it's not entirely within this bandwidth. The report explains the consciousness is the function of an energy field at rest, interacting with the physical world of energy fields in motion.

Outside of the physical reality bandwidth, the laws of the physical bandwidth start to break down, like with X-Rays and Gamma Rays being able to pass through objects.

The theory goes, that once you move far enough from the physical bandwidth, even time itself no longer becomes a law. Which would explain intuition and prophetic dreams, where that event they dreamt about happens years later. Their sleeping consciousness moves far enough from the physical bandwidth, that it's able to move outside the flow of time.

When you die, your consciousness moves back to the hive mind of consciousness that permeates existence. The Absolute.

The Report posits that this falls in line with many major religions and its interpretations, the eternal soul, the omniscient unknowable God, reincarnation etc etc....

This is all theoretical, at least in conventional sciences, because how do you measure all of this and record it?

Not so much a conspiracy theory, but something I've started to see mentioned in quiet corners (and that I've mentioned myself here, a little while back): the field of physics has run itself up a blind alley, chasing proof of theoretical models that posit ever smaller particles of stuff, the evidence for which may be nothing more than phantoms, interpreted from noise by biased computer models.

It goes like this. The invention of particle physics and the entire field of theoretical physics that it produced, reversed the relationship between theory and empiricism. The standard model, a theoretical and mathematical framework of the sub-atomic world, posits certain effects when hadrons are subjected to sufficient energy. Particle colliders were created to begin testing these theories. Now, the output of these particle colliders is a messy tangle of noisy signals, as you'd expect from a whopping great explosion, which requires interpretation to trease out the important signals from the noise. Computer models - essentially, filters that attempted to de-noise the signals that they take as inputs - had to be created to interpret the data they produced. These models were built using the assumptions of the theoretical framework as their basis, to look for signals and events that the theoretical models predict.

Even relatively low-power particle accelerators are very expensive, both to construct and to run, which creates an incentive to produce positive results. In addition, there is a great deal of personal and institutional prestige invested in the standard model and the wider field of theoretical physics, with entire careers and lifetimes of effort expended to advance understanding in the field. Together, this generates an unconscious bias toward an a priori assumption that the "correct" results are going to be found, with leeway allowed only for how much energy is required to find any given particle, rather than whether any given particle exists.

Due to how expensive and complex particle colliders are, independent replication of results becomes effectively impossible, as any replication attempt would also have an in-built financial pressure to confirm prior results, in order to avoid the appearance of wasteful spending and the loss of prestige that would result from the apparent "failure". Independent peer review of the results of a given experiment will also be hopelessly biased, because they are working from the assumption that the theoretical framework is fundamentally correct and comparing the results of the experiment to models that also assume the framework is correct.

The ultimate result is circular reasoning: The computer model is correct because it outputs results that the theoretical model predicts; the theoretical model is correct because the computer model outputs results that the theoretical model predicted.

At no point has anyone fed random inputs to these models and tested whether they produce the results predicted by the theoretical model. There is an overwhelming incentive not to do this simple test, because not only would an unexpected result overturn more than a century of theoretical research, but at a stroke it would wipe out the prestige of multiple institutions around the world, render the billions expended on experiments as entirely wasted, and end thousands of careers overnight.

The reason I'm reaching this conclusion is this: scientists are rarely good software developers. Software developers are rarely good scientists. It is entirely possible to create a software model that will interpret a spurious signal from random noise, if it is written in such a way that it assumes that signal must be present in its inputs.

A lot of analytical models suffer from this exact effect and it is a problem that has plagued physics for decades, where most analytical models are written by people who don't understand how to write software, or by people who don't understand the requirements of good statistical analysis. Physics has been suffering its own replication crisis as a result of this, though much more quietly than in the softer sciences, because there's much more at stake if it all breaks down.

The Why Files is such a great channel. Props on using the Pun for Why? (To question) and Y (the latter after x. X files, get it?)

Re David Icke and Alex Jones. I don't think they are plants but I believe they are allowed to exist because they decredit themselves. Icke was, afaik, somewhat respect in the field of conspiracy - even though the field itself wasn't respected, and he had a target on his back for leaking too much information. How do you remove that target? Discredit everything you've done by saying that the Queen is a lizard or that the frogs are turning gay.

It's an effective tactic because we saw Ivermectin; a proven remedy for COVID, get shot down as 'horse paste' and HCQ as 'drinking bleach'. No one would dare speak of iVermectin during COVID because they would be branded a horse-paste eating maniac.

However, icke and Jones still get away with telling the truth and revealing details. The frogs did turn gay and microplastics and increased oestrogen found in battery-farmed and GMO food have turned the people fat and gay.

Why is there so much fat acceptance and pride propaganda? So that you focus on the event and never stop to wonder "why are people so fat and gay all of a sudden?". If you think people are eating more now than they did in the 90s, you're wrong.

People foregoing alternatives to their all-shit diet for fear of missing out on what the latest turd tastes like seems sufficient explanation to me.

Not sure if this counts as a conspiracy theory, but this is something I've been thinking about as I get older: I think the afterlife is real. Your soul, your spirit, throughout your bloodline, gets passed down to your children and your children's children. You relive life, though you don't have memory of your past life, as a child again and your experiences - how the kid came to be conceived, how you met your significant other, etc. - will be whatever you make of it, because you don't have those past memories because you need to forge your own path as an individual.

I don't have much basis of this as of right now. It's always been a feeling I've had at the corner of my head. Anybody got proof of this belief having basis in reality?

So if you die as a child or you die without having kids, does your soul just cease to exist?
