Conspiracy Theories? -- Real Or Not? Yes, these include the NWO/Illuminati/Any Other Conspiracies. I personally find them fairly interesting and scary at the same time, at points I may believe they are true, but I know these are just "theories". The thing that I would believe is the most true, would have to be the illuminati conspiracy. There is more than enough symbolism in movies, music, and much other forms of media that prove that they exist. I don't think that they are out to dominate the world, or take over, but they are subtly putting their symbolism and occult in movies and videos. About the New World Order Conspiracy, I don't think that a group of people can wipe out 90% of our population. Think about it, they would only manage to destroy 12% of a population while, 30% of babies are being born. So, I'm down to say that the illuminati is fairly existant. Skeptics/Logicians/Whatever, please give me some feedback so I can think otherwise, and my mind can come off of the subject.
More is going on in the world than we really know, whichever way you look at it people lie to you or don't tell you about certain things. Whether it's a small or large thing it happens, nothing to really stop it from happen, I just hope generally that these groups are pro-social instead of violent extremists. And unless there is evidence, theories will all they'll be. But yes I find them fascinating and a great topic of debate.
First off, the word "theory" is misused there. "Theory" is not synonymous with "hypothesis." Second, I'm willing to bet a lot of conspiracy "theories" are things that do exist or are true, but have been misinterpreted or blown out of proportion. The Illuminati certainly exist, they're just not into the whole world domination shtick. And any standing conspiracy "theories" about the government trying to hide things from its people are definitely true. That's how governments operate. It's all part of Marxist conflict theory; a society is split into classes so that one class can dominate another. Just because we have more classes and more ambiguity between them doesn't mean we don't have liars and cheats muscling their competitors out of the game and covering their tracks on the way to the top. There's deceit behind every nation. I personally would like to believe that not every politician is a slimy, greasy sh**stain of a human being, but I'll concede that if they exist, they're in the minority. We might not like it, but it hasn't made the world unlivable, and it should only serve to remind us to be above that and be educated enough that we aren't so easily fooled.
This could be the best summary of conspiracy theories I've read so far. I completely agree, these things seem a little blown out of proportion, illuminati exist, but are not into world domination, they just have a high amount of control.(Right?) But that is the only logical theory that makes sense. There are people that believe in "reptilian" societies, which....sounds...you know what I mean.
