Conspiracy theories & simple explanations

Conspiracy theories &; simple explanations
are super popular. The USA is an evil empire,
3 white men run the whole world. NO! The
Illuminati do! Or is it the Masons? Rome,
or the Scientologists? I joke, because for
centuries EVERYBODY knows, that the
Jews are behind the world's problems.

Well I have news for you. What's REALLY
going on is way too complex for anyone
to definitively understand or control somehow.

The historic, psychological, unconscious, economic,
societal forces that create this moment DO NOT
boil down to simple explanations, [or else we
are back to "The Gods" or "Because I say so"
which still exist, but are not the whole story
that they once were. Though always poised
for a comeback.

Thunder is not the angels bowling.
You may think so. News organizations
might give you equal time, but we now
understand that meteorological conditions
cause thunder. That's why we can do weather
forecasts. So you may firmly believe in
the angels bowling explanation,
but you are wrong. I defend your right
to be wrong. I do not agree with your right
to faith based health and safety regulations
for me and my family!

I love your blog. I loved this post. There is so much truth in it. Thanks. I like what I tend to call "unexpected moments of reason".

Bach's playing in the background as I write. Well, Glenn Gould is. :-)

Greetings from London.

Not sure what you are saying but it sounds ok so many explanations about the world and who really runs the show, all I say is if they want that much responsibity they are welcome to it, I am happy to live, laugh and sleep my days away.

This raw post published without my realizing it! But your comments above are well worth staying published; so I'm leaving it in the spirit of "there are no accidents."

Thanks for understanding and for really being friends

Excellent points, Cloudia! People will believe nonsense sometimes, and they have a right to their beliefs. Not forcing them on other people.
