I don't know about you guys, but when I see a name StormcloudsAreGathering or 1TheRevolutionIsNow etc, I seriously feel like vomiting. I don't even have to see what exactly they have uploaded to feel that way.
I don't think this is curiosity or a quest for knowledge - sickness of the mind would be a more appropriate diagnosis for what drives such individuals.
Racism is far easier to understand than the extensive research that the conspiracy theorists conduct - obviously interpreting anything exactly the way they prefer and discard unsuitable information. Racism is driven by a very basic, primitive caution or fullblown fear for significantly differing individuals.
It is entirely different matter why some canadian may concern himself with the origin of the Pyramids to a point of hysteria - or why a random estonian may find it very important in his everyday life to meticulously track judeo-christian agenda on the global front. If Iran does something odd, its the jews behind it, with islam being a sprout anyway, if the US is the aggressor - directed by the jews. Don't trust anyone, anything, but you sure as hell have to tell others - the others that you probably can't trust anyway - that you shouldn't trust anyone. What ever happened to quietly putting your hands together or pointing your ass towards the sky, in the solitude of your home or local cult center?
But, it seems to be a bit too common. If family members start telling you about illuminati, if fellow dxmp players tell you of biotoxins in toothpaste, if your girlfriend attributes human personality to some non-physical construct someplace somewhere, you kinda start thinking that something went wrong somewhere.
What is true, what is false, but more importantly: how much should we care? The way I see it, we should concern ourselves predominantly with the effect and grasp we have over our immediate surroundings. If everybody everywhere did that, world would be a much cleaner place; interpret it anyway you prefer.
Knowledge and wisdom allow us to caution ourselves when the mind feels inclined to give in to the impossibilities. We all know of optical illusions. They are very effective, aren't they? I bet there is someone out there that believes these very illusions represent some kind of gateway to parallel universe or even consciousness. What if the optical illusion was in fact a message to you, from someone important? What if the impossibly awesome thing you witness in that optical illusion in fact makes you someone important, because others disregard it as a prank?
I guess that about sums up why some people find it important to revel in such impossibilities, dreams. They crave for attention. And then there are those that are simply sick. And then.. there must be a few that are just bored.
I don't think there is a big difference between believing in god, fucking your mother, and searching for the all-seeing eye on the canned food lab els. Or looking for tomorrow's drama in today's stars.
First of all, a person should have some level of self-control, and I am talking about something very natural here: think of fucking your mother - you'll feel repulsed. That is the way I feel about believing in god. I can see how that can be done, but its just repulsive. Or about demands of releasing the hidden alien corpses.
Biotoxins in toothpaste? Probably. Jews behind it? I don't think so.
Self control. Now, curiosity and tendency of getting spooked are also part of our nature, and being intelligent creatures we tend to search for answers. Intelligence also teaches us pragmatic solutions and allows us to learn from mistakes. With this I refer to the importance of education, knowledge, wisdom. We pass on the experience of our past mistakes to our offspring, we force them to take classes, and in the end they will be learning through their own, personal mistakes.
Knowledge allows person to acknowledge the impossibility of something that seams feasible to the mind. This is no fake nonsense - if you see an impossibly tilted tower (chinese optical illusion that puzzled scientists recently) your education *and* experience tells you this is impossible. Now, you can start coming up with theories that attempt to make it possible, but in the end if you travel to that very tower you see it stands perfectly straight..
Curiosity is a great thing that allows us to learn, but sometimes, somehow, we tend to come up with stupid conclusions.
If we are bored, we feel the time slowly progress without us having much to use it for. In the end there awaits death, and that we fear. So I guess some people just make their lives more exciting by filling their grey days with astrological nonsense and-or safeguarding their post-mortem real estate.
