As a kid I was always fascinated by things from the edge. I listened to Art Bell's show "Coast to Coast AM" many nights as I went to sleep. I was really into conspiracy theories as I've talked about on SN. Over the years as I did more reading and studying I learned that the things that governments and companies admit to doing, things that are exposed and proven are often so crazy few believe them. Not to mention that these stories are often buried and ignored in the history we are taught in schools(lies of omission). That led me to kinda pump the brakes on my conspiracy theory interest.

Then I started learning about how the state will use these theories to some of the less credible people that push them to discredit legitimate questions. I think our curiosity and excitement about finding something out or exposing something before others can cloud our judgement.

I'm not saying trust authority. I'm saying the opposite. Many say they don't trust authority but they trust some person online that has a lot to gain from grabbing attention with wild speculation. If one is skeptical of the state they should also have that same level of skepticism from companies and individuals with something to gain from their stories and theories.

Its a complex world and many will be seeking to profit off of these crazy events. What we know the state does and can prove they have done in the past is far more than enough to never trust them. We don't need to make stuff up.

Not suggesting this guy is making stuff up. This was the first time I had encountered him.
