Emerging Markets In Conspiracy Theory.

It’s not every day that I link to something that flat-out insults people like me for believing in ‘irrational nonsense’ – but it’s actually rather ecumenical, in that special way that only evangelical rationalist atheists can be. Whoever wrote this up clearly loathes everybody with a religion, including the trendy ones.  Besides, I haven’t even heard of some of these, and I flatter myself that I have a pretty good feel for the field.

Also: the blank fields there offer excellent suggestions for future gaming.  Need a conspiracy?  Come up with something that mixes Quackery, Conspiracy, and the Paranormal! Guaranteed fresh!

      1. The Denver Airport was a hilarious disaster during it’s long snakebit construction. I guess sometime along the way it got a ghost story attached to it?

        1. Well, it was built out in the middle of nowhere, and somebody paid large amounts of money to have that happen.
          Surely there was a REASON.

          But mixing public infrastructure and conspiracy is practically redundant. (Albeit the type that costs taxpayers money while inconveniencing them.)

          1. Yep, it came in way over budget, was located way out from Denver proper, and IIRC was rumored to have Silurians managing the baggage system. (they *claim* it’s fully automated ..)

  2. The capacity of some people to reject everything they don’t personally understand is remarkable.

    1. ‘s both a defining and a survival trait for your species.
      .
      Survival because if you don’t understand something y’all make up a story and just go with it ..

      Don’t understand bacteria? Must be demons!
      .
      Don’t understand long-term climate cycles? Must be man-made!
      .
      It’s really quite remarkable.

      1. Don’t understand feline behavior? Must be sapient overlords only keeping us for the oppose-able thumbs. 😉

        1. Oh, it’s not *just* that, although y’all are very good at putting together IKEA cat furniture and cleaning litter boxes.
          .
          There’s also a morbid curiosity about what you’ll come up with next.

  3. For more fun and excitement, simply assume that 2 things in a single section are intimately connected. Bin Laden created the recipe for New Coke! The Templars coded Pokemon!
