Any conspiracy that you hear about more than two or three times is actually a part of a deeper conspiracy to create so much conspiracy chaff that finding the truth becomes impossible.
The actual deep state Illuminati whatever thing that’s behind it all running everything are really just a bunch of powerful old rich people who have capped out on money bringing them any joy in life and the only thing they have left that brings them any excitement is keeping people down.
We have enough financial resources that every person on the planet could work 20 hours a week and have a house and have time to spend with their community and accomplish things that are meaningful to them, but in order for those resources to be distributed fairly we would have to identify the people that are hoarding it and divest them of their horde.
Macron did the Notre Dame Fire to draw attention away from the Yellow Vest Protests.
I always find it amusing to think that one builder somewhere decided to spark up a blunt and utterly fucking destroyed one of the most culturally significant buildings in the entire world, and probably only he knows he did it
That the governments of the world actively encourage conspiracy theories because in general they foster a belief that they are significantly more competent than they actually are.
Also when “conspiracy theory” automatically reads as “bullshit” to everyone, actual conspiracies get looked at less.
And to remind everyone “conspiracy” is just a plan by two or more people to commit a crime. A much more mundane term than what it’s current connotations would suggest.
Incandescent light bulbs burned out at the speed they did because of an agreement between light bulb manufacturers to not make them better. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebus_cartel
That’s totally true. If you go to Edison’s house they have light bulbs that have been burning for a really long time. Every tour someone asks, “why don’t my light bulbs last that long?” The tour guide replies, “because then you’d only buy them once.”
They also don’t produce usable amounts of light.
Also the bulbs that last forever are majorly undervolted. They last forever because they’re not run anywhere near their current capacity, and as a result, they emit way less light and their filament doesn’t degrade as fast.
If you take any old off the shelf incandescent bulb and only run it at 50v, it’ll last decades.
A big part of that is that those bulbs are never turned off. Cycling power is actually a large part of what degrades them.
That you don’t actually need toilet paper or a bidet, it’s just a money making scheme for the elites.
Opinions like this are why cons smell like shit.
