Conspiracies

Wednesday, 28 March 2007

Ten years ago I gave many conspiracy theories a serious benefit of the doubt. But today I think that people are too ignorant to organize the kind of complex conspiracies that this video is about. And, more important, I think that Life is much weirder than is supposed by believers in these New World Order conspiracies. But the role that individuals play in Life is infinite small, even if you are a president of the United States or Jezus.
When I watch this video it made me think of this: when a little kid is playing with Lego, it is easy to impress him, by building a tower or a house. But you cannot explain to a kid that all real houses and towers are build too, and that that the real buildings are far more fascinating than Lego buildings. Such insights come in little steps. Seeing the similarity between all the various logos should not lead to the conclusions drawn by conspiracy theorists. I like to take facts like these as a stepping stone to plunge into deeper mysteries. Still, some of the images in this video are truly puzzling, like the owl in the ground plan of a city, somewhere halfway the video.
