When I was younger, like 12 years ago, I was a complete conspiracy nut. I believed that the Bilderbergers are plotting all major events in the world, I believed that 9/11 was orchestrated by the US government, I believed that the media are all bought and are making propaganda, I believed that money is just a functional device to keep the sheeple grinding without thinking big thoughts.

There is not much left of this attitude. I especially do not believe that conspiracies are likely to work in the way the conspirers would like to see. I believe in the watergate affair. There is a lot of evidence. I believe the russians have meddled in every important election of the last 10 years. There is a lot of evidence for that. I believe that the official 9/11 report is misleading and not truthful, for the sole purpose of hushing up the mistakes that have been made in preventing it. There is a lot of evidence for that. I believe that lobbyist are constantly "conspiring" to manipulate the political agenda. There is a lot of evidence for that.

But I refuse to believe any conspiracy theory that fails to provide any evidence. Just because a story has an inner coherence, does not mean it is likely to be true.
