The philosopher in me wants to object that this goes against the principle of parsimony. The objection would say that the most likely conspiracy theory is the one that allows us to keep the most of our old beliefs, which are reliable because they are tuned to the way the world is. But then I think the post has a response: what if our beliefs are so warped and corrupted from decades of official lies and degeneracy and propaganda that you would be better off starting from scratch? So this is sort of like Descartes concluding that his beliefs were unsalvageable and he needed to start from scratch. Except via conspiracy theory. Cool.
if I was managing a moonshot, and I knew from photographic surveys, some of the strange things, that exist up there, I would hire Stanley Kubrick, to make realistic footage, that I could use to prevent my adversaries from knowing the truth, of their own true history. So the moonshots are a both and situation. Yes the moon has been thoroughly explored, at least. Yes Kubrick made the films. His motivation was a promise from the powers that be that they would leave him alone to make his movies without interference. I think he made the right move. The powers that be became interested in him because of Dr. Strangelove. They were astonished how accurate the B-52 cockpit was. They were alarmed about how accurate his airplane sequences were.
I firmly believe that certain easily debunkable conspiracy theories are state-sponsored psyops with the aim of confusing, dividing and discrediting any and all dissenting voices. I recognise their propaganda tactics (shaming, out-of-context presentations n isolation, etc).
People aren't buying the exaggerated epidemic narrative? Why not associate them with the easily debunkable flat earth nonsense (see space busters, for example). Blatant state propaganda assets.
The government appears to create fake conspiracies in order to discredit real ones. Flat earth always seemed to me a weapon against those that seek to look beyond official narratives.

If the Americans had faked the Moon landings, the Soviets would STILL be hooting and jeering about it!
As for "No Virus", I don't believe that. What I DO believe is that "virus" is over-used as a cause for things that our "learned men" don't really understand. "Here, we can fix that with a shot...roll up your sleeve". Ummm...NO Go back and re-do your research. I'll actually respect you more if you come back with "I don't know" than with some BS "It must be a virus".
Peter Duisburg opined that whenever there's an outbreak of illness, infectious disease trumps toxicology as a causal factor. Infection is sexier so the medicos tend to gravitate towards it. Bias is often how we get avoidable errors.

Speculating on conspiracy theories accomplishes the goal of the entire existent of conspiracy theories. They are myths designed specifically to detract from the focus on reality, to distract from the simple truth that our nation is run by intelligence services, it compliments the fact that everything the American public believes of relevance is a lie. Funny how so many of these are late stage modern myths conjugated from nothing by people who have a professional interest in stoking lies and misconception. The Flat Earth nonsense is a perfect example of a lie created as a distraction from reality, it is a pysop that has been very effective but of course that is also a conspiracy theory.
Bitcoin mining is actually using machines an ancient Vedic ritual.
The Vedic ritual consists of two tones: an ostinato pulse, and ascending high pitch. The ostinato pulse is meant to be a series of “Ohm” chants representing the fundamental sound of the universe, the laws of physics faithfully executing, over and over, a cycle.
The ascending high pitch represents the increasing complexity of the universe over time.
As such, the purpose of the ritual is to both celebrate the universe’s increasing tendency of coming alive and encourage more of that sort of thing.
The ostinato pulse, the low frequency cyclical drone, is bitcoin’s 10 minute block period. So low frequency that you can’t even hear it.
The increasing tone is bitcoin’s hash rate. At this point we are talking a number around 200 million trillion times per second.
So think of prayer wheels or prayer flags, powered by billions of dollars worth of power over then world. People think this is new, but no, this stuff is as ancient as the monks chanting deep under the earth to power the laws of physics. There’s nothing new about bitcoin. It’s older than time itself, literally. That’s why it fits together so perfectly.
My favorite is the symbiotic viruses conspiracy. In fact, I would be surprised if there wasn't at least some truth to it. Very nice. I also appreciate the need for an alternative vision to the WEF. I feel like I can see it, but not nearly as clearly as the neoserfdom the Davos crowd lusts for
I recall a Sci-fi novel set in a dystopian Europe, set 2030-ish, with mercs & skullduggery. A memorable quote "we serbed the village". But the kicker was "infectious memes", as in mass radical transformation of belief systems, political support etc, via a wetware virus. Given the sales of Catch-22 novels (cinematic bonmot) we all realise that The Human Psyche has been cracked, scrambled then poached (sic). Iyamanopenbook.
I haven't read enough of your work to know if you have included anything about the lack of imagination in the NWO 3 stooges virtual ' visions' of tech enhanced humans? I see these players using historical authors like Huxley and Orwell in their tyrants handbook but I find no mention of Issac Asimov's foundation series. Is this possibly because the annoymous mathematical prediction library in the books could not account for the anomaly of ' The Mule ' because the mixture of flesh and tech was not predictable?
Personally I think the stooges vision has this major flaw and one other; that I do not believe the flesh can be separated from the soul for very long before becoming meat. Just because we cannot measure or test or record a soul yet using the scientific method, does that mean it it only exists as a mental construct? ESP in rabbit testing was observable but not provable as to the WHY of any of it. This leads me to my next question. Does science ever really explain WHY something is or does? Observations of repeatable events only prove themselves given the boundaries of the testing. Observations answer some Of the WHAT questions but 'WHAT is' is not 'WHY is'. Logic based around justifying a limited set of conditions and conclusions seems to me a pointless exercise. But I am biased because I don't like what untested scientific hubris has done to this planet. Science fiction can definitely predict horrible futures badly. If scientists had a real look at nature they would be humbled, and would see that they know virtually nothing about the world or themselves. This excitability about star trekking across new frontiers while trampling over nature whilst attempting to imitate it, is so
unimaginative and quite frankly sad on all counts. Sorry to get carried away...but what good has science done since shit removal and hand washing? Compared to what it has destroyed....
I don't think I would agree with the argument here, or at least with the way it is stated. A lie can be elaborate and can capture people's imagination, but that doesn't make it any less a lie. If truth is prosaic, it is still the truth. We don't get to tell other people what their alt-opinions should be, even if we do find the ones they actually have to be boring.
The argument may be leaning in the right direction, though. Merely rejecting a standard narrative as false leaves a hole in our world-map. If we lop off a lie, its stump needs to be scabbed over with new narrative tissue to replace it. That replacement tissue will have to account for all facts as well or better than the lie did, and it will have to blend seamlessly into the rest of our world-map. If it can do so, it will be interesting in its own right, and more so, to the pursuer of truth, than the flamboyant lie.
The problem with the three alt-narratives posed as examples is not their lack of entertainment value, but their apparent lack of a satisfying alternative framework for explaining their subject matter. If they can gain that, then I will be much more open to them.
Of the three, Flat Earth leaves by far the biggest hole in my world-map. Seeing no compelling reason for it, and no problem with my existing Spherical Earth model, I tend to reject Flat Earth out of hand.
No Viruses also leaves a big hole, though not nearly so big as Flat Earth. The damage is still traumatic, and I don't want to go there, but I can at least wrap my head around the idea, somewhat. It tears out a big chunk of basic biology for me, but it also inspires me to ask what we know about the phylogeny and distribution of viruses. Do they really evolve and exist in all life forms, or is virology just a shallow series of store fronts, propped up to cast an illusion that covers a few human and domestic animal diseases?
No Moon Landings doesn't leave much of a hole. HIstorically, whether the U.S. landed a few expeditions of men on the moon from 1969 to the early 1970s makes little or no difference to anything else I think I know about the world. On one hand, I have a hard time seeing what motive could be so compelling as to pull such an enormous hoax. On the other, I have a few questions about how it was physically possible to do it, and half a century of huge advances in electronic control technology, while never landing and retrieving a single craft there again, makes it seem circumstantially less and less likely that it really happened the first time. I'm quite open to persuasion on this one. But if it was a hoax, then it needs to come with a heck of a revisionist narrative.

Maybe it’s a bit scary for some to face the fact that in 1969 the USA sent men to the moon and brought them safely back.

Okay, JC, you can go on break right now to write the screenplay for the Giza Antarctica Luna pilot.
I want it on my desk in 30 days.
June Lockhart and Mark Goddard are already on board, pretty sure I can sign Billy Mumy and Angela Cartwright.

Excellent!
Above all else, no matter what, never commit the unforgivable crime of being....dullll.....
Always good advice.
