The world is full of nutty conspiracy theories.

A lot have turned out true.

A lot have turned out true.

Some have turned out to be true. The vast majority have not.

Some have turned out to be true. The vast majority have not.

A lot depends on who you happen to believe in.

I'll take a simple sports example:
Conspiracy theory 9,841,000b: The NFL and their officials deliberately let Tom Brady play with illegally under-inflated footballs. (deflateGate)

If one believes the NFL is run with integrity and honor then you likely scoff at the conspiracy.
If one believes (as I do) that corruption courses through the league's veins, and that money and agenda often prevail above fairness...you are likely to believe the conspiracy (or at least view it as plausible).

There is land behind the ice wall and the earth is flat..

No conspiracy there left to unravel that hasn't already been resolved amongst the thoughtful.

Just ask: why have the Americans, Chinese and Russians jointly failed to "re-visit" the moon in the past 50 years? Should be easy-peasy by now, right? Nothing on the moon worth investigation or scientific analysis? No national pride to attain? In the last 50 years: zero direct moon exploration. No "new" national flags planted.

Of course I jest. Or maybe I don't. Or maybe in this "simulated world" of ours a jest is just a test for the reader to discern .

This song always sticks w/me, though for different reasons than the artist might have intended. Do love the groove, and especially the featured lyric:

"Things that make you go hmmm..."

Ran across this interesting explanation of why we like football and it popularity. Worth a watch.

Yep...especially when u consider that the NFL has a sleazy relationship with several online gambling companies...is it a wild conspiracy that at least SOME NFL games are affected by this?
