Can you talk me out of conspiracy theories please?

Question

1. There are evil people in the world.

2. Some of them have power and wealth.

3. They will break the law to get what they want.

4. They will do what ever it takes to maintain their power and wealth.

Therefore.. there must be at least SOME large scale conspiracies going on or it is at least reasonable that they do happen.

Can you find a way out of this logic?

Answer 1

If you believe in evil spirits, they thrive of weak people because they are easy to control.

It's amazing how many weak people there are in positions of POWER.  The spirits can use these people to do their dirty work.  

The true types of people - positive, decent, pure of heart are more resilient to be influenced by evil entities.

Answer 2

I don't think people are getting together and forming conspiracies, but the way to manipulate people is well known and used, from the simplest ways (Like pricing something at $5.99 to make us simple folk think that it costs about $5 when it's really $6!) to the more complex, like media owners getting us to believe certain people, or groups of people,(pop stars for  instance or nationalities), are bad to take our attention off the fact that they are manipulating us for their own financial profit, because they are too stupid to see that a fair world would be more satisfying to everyone, including themselves!They use psychologists to work out ways to sway us. It's not so far from conspiracy in the long run, but they're all doing it for their own companies, not in cahoots with any others.

Answer 3

That's not logic, you're making an assumption.

Answer 4

Rialsi please don't act like your 10 years old ( unless you are ).

below is a web site of indicted politicians, I stopped counting at 100 because i was only about 1/4 of the way threw. If you believe politicians are worried about the law you are wrong.

And to say that thinking there are evil rich people is an assumption is also naive. how about the obvious Osama Bin Ladden? And what did he do to try to make things the way he thought they should be?

Answer 5

5. Oversight; is a practice that functions to eliminate corruption and crime in government offices.

Answer 6

There are many more people in the world who have equal power and wealth who would lose their power and wealth if our system of laws were to collapse.

Answer 7

No.Any intelligent person knows they exist.There's laws dealing with conspiracies[RICO].And there's unelected policymakers in organizations that conspire against people and nations daily[cfr,club of rome,tri-lat,riia and so on].It is a controlled media that conditions the sheeple to laugh at conspiracies.http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com...  http://www.amerikanexpose.com/quotes1.ht...

Answer 8

Look up George Soros and his nefarious schemes.  If there is a powerful rich backer of conspiracies today, he's probably the best choice going.

Answer 9

maybe the  conservative republicans  and ,necon's can answer this question .

Answer 10

There are many 'conspiracies', but few of them reach the magnitude of the efforts those over-reaching do in their scale or frequency attempting to construct 'evidence' of such. They abound to those determined to find them, who don't seem to understand that they are joining in a conspiracy of sorts in their pursuits.

Answer 11

The things you state are true, the world is full of evil and wealthy tyrants who believe themselves a superior human being.

Evil is an individual decision and action that one will be held accountable for.  Tyrants are very mislead with their wealth, the only thing that is really theirs is "life" and upon their death while standing before our Holy Father they will be judged solely for being a good human being, or not.

Our life time here on earth is very very short compared to eternity.  I prefer to be accepted into eternity than a short life of evil and tyranny that will send me to the gates of h**l.

There are several old saying "the bigger you are the harder you fall" and "the children will pay for the sins of their fathers", these apply to many households.

From our forefathers, we are born into our society but given free will to accept our own destiny..

"One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as is necessary to avoid starvation and keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny, and is likely to interfere with happiness in all kinds of ways"

by Bertrand Russell

Learn to enjoy your life and find happiness in being a good human being, your own peace of mind is your salvation.  

Peace Be Still

Answer 12

Indeed I can!!

I refer you to point 3.  These people MAKE the laws .... hellllooooooo....

Answer 13

What you see in life depends on what you look for. Every one of your statements is general enough that we can change a single word to alter the context without changing the truth percentile.

e.g.

1. There are HONEST people in the world

2. Some of them have power and love.

3. They will HONOR the law to get what they want.

4. They will do whatever it takes to maintain their CHARITY and wealth.

It also remains a conspiracy theory. Within my own active conspiracy group, we hope to see an end to the poverty within our Sister Parish in Nuevo Loredo. Is our conspiracy any less practical than world domination?

No need to change the logic. Just adjust the focus a bit...
