The part I don’t get is that there are so many cool, real conspiracies out there to be explored
This is so Carl Sagan.
And so we got to talking. But not, as it turned out, about science. He wanted to talk about frozen extraterrestrials languishing in an Air Force base near San Antonio, “channeling” (a way to hear what’s on the minds of dead people—not much, it turns out), crystals, the prophecies of Nostradamus, astrology, the shroud of Turin … He introduced each portentous subject with buoyant enthusiasm. Each time I had to disappoint him: “The evidence is crummy,” I kept saying. “There’s a much simpler explanation.”
…
And yet there’s so much in real science that’s equally exciting, more mysterious, a greater intellectual challenge—as well as being a lot closer to the truth. Did he know about the molecular building blocks of life sitting out there in the cold, tenuous gas between the stars? Had he heard of the footprints of our ancestors found in 4-million-year-old volcanic ash? What about the raising of the Himalayas when India went crashing into Asia? Or how viruses, built like hypodermic syringes, slip their DNA past the host organism’s defenses and subvert the reproductive machinery of cells; or the radio search for extraterrestrial intelligence; or the newly discovered ancient civilization of Ebla that advertised the virtues of Ebla beer? No, he hadn’t heard. Nor did he know, even vaguely, about quantum indeterminacy, and he recognized DNA only as three frequently linked capital letters.
And that’s just science; think of all the actual conspiracies that actually happened. MKULTRA is perfect conspiracy theorist material and actually real, but that second part means it’s boring
I found a good use for AI:
Undo bad language censoring in meme screen shots.
Fucking tiktok trained them like dogs.
You can’t be popular on that platform unless you self censor.
Thank god I can’t see that that says bullshit… oh wait
Oh fuck you just corrupted the fuck out of me. What in actual fuck is wrong with you, writing that on the Internet where people can read it?
Funny how they never get the message that maybe GOD IS PISSED at them.
Nooo it’s all ‘this is because of the gays!!’ The fabulous gays of homophobe town is why it got flattened? Sure kevin
God couldn’t possibly be mad at them. Despite doing the opposite of many things Jesus taught, they must be right. The man on the big stage at the hundred-million dollar church told them so.
Bro. Ppl gonna see this and be like “THAT’S RIGHT!”
Oh, don’t you worry, they’ll identify themselves for you without any additional encouragement.
