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

[Señora Airi]

A small one. I think I'm the only person who thinks this.

All the catty drama with Caitlin Clark is set up so women would actually be interested in the WNBA, because they for God damn sure don't care about basketball.

That one's just common sense to anyone with half a brain and casually looking at sports pages

The potentially bigger conspiracy is making people like me that aren't even interested in basketball fans of Caitlin Clark. Whoever taught her to keep her mouth shut because her game is enough deserves a medal.

There's the claim from mostly leftist "misinformation experts" that "misinformation" "tends to be right wing", and that scientists tend to be leftist. That first claim seems to imply that speaking against The Narrative™ is "misinformation", as well as yet another attempt to BS people into being SJWs. That second claim seems to imply that research is totally uncorrupted by "woke" agenda -- the same "woke" agenda that has infiltrated academia. Getting really tired of the endless "social engineering" attempts.

I think that traditionally there is truth to reality has a left wing bias. The problem is this meant there was no immune system on the left to error check. Which has now allowed it to be taken over and fed with misinformation. It then rebranded itself as what "good" people think. So people then got indoctrinated in not wanting to be a bad person. Anyone that disagrees is a bad and evil person. It then fed that dynamic over whether anything was real or made sense.

The hate, distain and dehumanision of others that goes on with the left is insane and there's zero recognition this is a problem because they're the good people against the bad people. Anything, no matter how dishonest and plainly wrong justifies the good guys winning over the bad people.

I think reality has a more centrist or maybe even right wing bias.

I actually wouldn't be surprised. Islam has to be the most ontologically retarded religion on the face of the planet. No wonder it has bajillions of adherents and is the fastest growing religion in the world. We're pumping out more retards every year than ever in the past and vast numbers of them join Pisslam.

Islamic ontology isn't particularly retarded on balance: they had a healthy injection of Aristotle in the middle ages, much of their theology proper was cribbed from Christian heretics and pre-kabbalistic Jews, and they controlled Platonic, gnostic and other like excrescences arguably as well as Christians did. It's the practice of Islam that is indefensibly retarded. Buddhist (and other Jeet religions') ontology, however...

And yes, I am just complaining about using "ontologically" as a meaningless intensifier.

Edit: And also nobody is joining Islam outside of random Bantoid tribes. They are treading water in most countries with negligible conversion among ethnically non-Muslim peoples.

You know Hollywood has been tanking its own shit since the whole thing started right?

100%

Its to do with lowering your tax bill, or something. You can look it up, but it's been done plenty of times, and it's in aid of not paying as much in taxes. They want a few bombs to balance the books.

It stared with Germany. Remember those terrible movie adaptations of Postal, Bloodrayne, etc. (Postal is a classic 100% but it was a huge failure).

Those were all intentionally made to be bad so they could get paid extra. Not only is it a tax dodge but they also were able to claim extra $ that would have been profit had the film not tanked. It was more profitable to make shit films.

Now in the USA it’s just a straight loss to tax dodge pipeline. Remember when Disney got hit with a 200+ million dollar tax liability? Kinda convenient that they had a 200 million dollar animated film that tanked in 1 week at the box office and then was pulled. It was the only Disney film to get zero advertising. They wanted it to flop.

It’s really obvious and pathetic.

Beyond the tax implications, there’s also the fact that the powers that be really do not want us entertained. Bread and circuses worked in the past but they want people at home where they can bombard you with propaganda and ads. By making popular media like films and concerts into overpriced hot garbage they take away one of the last creative forms of expression people partake in.

Thread tax - it was the Jews.

Does believing in the midwit bell curve count as a conspiracy theory? It's become a favourite of mine lately.

The idea is basically that low-intelligence will sometimes blindly arrive at the correct answer to a given issue, and high-intelligence people will reason their way to the correct answer. Meanwhile midwits of average or above-average IQ will often start to process of reasoning on a given topic but arrive at a totally incorrect answer because they get about halfway through the reasoning process.

Eh, it's one of those "uncomfortable truths," that people ignore or reject. It's like saying cereal has insect parts in its ingredient list. It's not a conspiracy theory; it's a fact.

For anyone who rejects Midwit Theory, the idea behind the theory is that the unintelligent and the super intelligent are guided more by gut feelings than the average person. Gut feelings are the result of hundreds of millions of years of evolution. They're more valuable than an "expert" could ever be, especially in your day-to-day life. Regardless of the wider disparity in intelligence, the same conclusion can be found; only the level of analysis differs.

Exactly. If reality had a left wing bias then they wouldn't have to destroy all insistutions, capture all media/academic outlets and implement their way of thinking for their left wing bias

I'd like to think this is why people like Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Michael Dell, etc. all dropped out of college and most Navy SEALS don't have a college education.

Oddly enough, does not seem to affect cats to this degree.

Cats are hard to keep indoors if not neutered. Queens go into heat regularly and can get uterine cancer and males spray and fight. They do now say to leave it to at least six months if you can.

know of no baby formula brand in the US where this is true. They do all have seed oils, though.

It’s the intolerance type formulas - specialist stuff for babies who have allergies.

Yeah, this is a specialist one. Still kind of alarming though isn’t it?

I don't think any of them dropped out because they couldn't hack it or didn't do well. I vaguely remember Bill Gates dropping out because the university couldn't give him the computer science education he wanted, and Zuckerberg became an entrepreneur. They dropped out because they could do better.
SEALs usually get into the Corps very young and doing a full on college level education besides all the rest just would be too much. They don't need a college degree, although most would definitely do well there (before the roids and SEAL culture ruins them).

The "ontologically" was making fun of that. The "retarded" part is serious. It's not universal, but however relatively "progressive" (in its original sense) Islam MAY have been in its earlier history, that past is nearly completely occluded in the dominant schools by absolute, utter retardation and medievalism.

Didn't Gates's parents also have the money to help support him?

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Exactly.

And if reality had a leftist bias, there could've been numerous examples of "political correctness" and "social justice" -- AKA "woke" -- throughout history. For example, the concept of "cultural appropriation" and "microaggressions" would be something the ancient Egyptians could have written about, the ancient Greeks could have fixated on "gender" and "pronouns", and ancient China could've fixated on "diversity" and let in unchecked mass immigration (which could really work instead of being dysfunctional).

"Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world!" is only technically true because Muslims in their own countries* breed out of control (and often with cousins and siblings). They, of course, say it because they want to imply it this "growth" is via conversion, when in reality Islamic conversion vs. apostasy is pretty much a 1-for-1.

*Outside of the "Islamic world", birthrates of Muslims generally match wherever they wind up when Generation 2 rolls around, same with spics in the United States. 1st generation illegals might have a fuckton of kids, but that 2nd generation will usually stop at 1 or 2 offspring. Likewise, Muslims generally have a big population growth when they first "migrate", but their children generally do not themselves have a shitton of offspring.

That's all that matters, though. How many adherents does it have? It doesn't matter if they're all inbred retards, which they mostly are, because who else would join Pisslam and worship a child molester?

Dumbass niggers in America who think joining Islam is somehow sticking it to whitey.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world because according to the Qu'ran, we are all born Muslim and it's only a matter of time before other Muslims win God-points for showing us the way back to Allah (PBUH).
It's why true, devoted Muslims can lie (Taqiyya) to non-muslims (Kefir) to persuade them to move back towards the teaching of Mohammed (GITH) and Allah (PBUH).

Radical Muslims will kill athiests without question, as they see them as soulless beasts. They will kill Jews equally as quickly as they hate them with a passion and see them as satans minions. Muslims will, however, not harm Christians or Catholics as they see them as misguided brothers. Because both religions recognise the holiness of Jesus Christ - though Muslims don't recognise Him as a prophet, they do hold Him as sacred in their texts and thus, see killing Christians as an insult to Allah (PBUH).

Ancient civilisation is right-wing. Left-wing exists to deal with the modern world imo. Early hunter-gatherer societies were extremely focussed on the family unit, had stereotypical roles and never enforced any form of equality (if your nan got too old and started slowing you down, she was left to the wolves).

Left-wing thinking exists largely because survival isn't really something we worry about nowadays, and left-wing ideology primarily exists inside of the human constructs like modern-day society. It seems to me like left-wing ideology only begins to exist once we started forming civilisations.

That's not to say that right-wing is automatically good for being based on nature while left-wing is bad for being based on human construct. In the modern world, you need a bit of both since human constructs are basically all around us now, but at the same time, you need to keep your attachment to humanity and nature so you don't become some loony utilitarian or end up with your head in the clouds with your mind only existing to think about theoreticals.
