I think a lot of people naturally take the stance of not taking responsibility for personal failures because it's simply too hard to put it on yourself but there seems to be a lot of power in taking the opposite stance of: I don't care who's fault it for my failures but I'm gonna take responsibility over it. I could even argue it's so empowering it's one of the major steps to freeing yourself. Opinions?

Wow. If only there were good things to use this for, maybe we can start a self-actualizer movement with this.

This lol. I do wonder if the elite or humanity will one day merge with AI @3:11 in vid Just for the record I don't believe a single idea of Alex Jones is wholely true, he really is one heck of a guy who plays on people's vulnerability to conspiracy theories. I noticed the same with Ancient Aliens but these kinds of things are intriguing in the way it gives us an explaination for things we don't understand. For example, we aren't really sure about the elite, because only a select few are part of that group so for us as average society members we are curious about them. So people like Alex Jones are people who exploit this by giving us an explaination. They are part of the illuminati, the NWO, they are satanists taking over the world. Or Another one can be religion, they are people brainwashing you to their religion so you join their cult, give them money so that you don't feel scared of where you'll go after you'll die. However if you don't believe in the conspiracy ideas, these explainations aren't enough and then you begin to look for the real explaination or atleast a better alternative. I've found that actually having a desire to be rich and trying to start a business yourself is one of the most enlightening experiences in this regard. I've found that I've learned a lot when I have studied both sides of an argument. For example, when I was younger there was a site called SearchLores that I learned a lot about the internet search from before google implemented semantic search (remember when you had to actually use keywords to get the result you wanted). The Author of the site Fravia had a big fight to pick with Big Business interests, he HATED the idea of commericalizing the web (He believed that the internet should retain it's original scientific educational purpose of sharing FREE information without businesses monetizing it) So he taught people on the site to do a form of "Reality Cracking" which basically means try to understand the truth behind everyday things. Anyway, it made me think their was something manipulative about adverstising and l started blocking ads and ignoring them. Thinking we are constantly inundated by ads all the time and it seems like they are a purely annoying and thing we don't really want. Somehow later I got into marketing myself and started to work with advertising. When I started to do it I got to actually see how you can write, and some things can be manipulative, some things can be lying but you can also be honest with it. At the end of the day I learned that you can't really do a business without marketing because you got to get the word out about what your doing so that people will know and their are a lot of logistics to it and you can do it a deceptive way (like I first thought it was when I read about Marketers from SearchLores) or it can be done honestly and in a very benefical way (which is how some marketers view their profession and want to teach people learning the trade). This is how I see is an evolution with conspiracy theories too. First we hate them, then we dig in deeper we find out something else might be the case maybe even very different.

@DivineSoda Those revelations really made we wonder where the world is heading...technology moving so fast...the consquences...and yeah all that data they have on us.

Couldn't that be a good thing. Ego wanting to survive can be a very good thing. It can cause us to strive for something better especially when it causes us to question and seek out what is really true beyond the conspiracy. I might make a new thread about it, how conspiracies or experiences about how we view the world open our mind up to look for the truth in things. Actually, I'll see if I can revise this right now.

I see, I wasn't sure it was conspiracy at first. It merely opened my mind when I was young to look for answers about the world.

I remember watching Zeitgeist - The Movie watching this when it came out and it was very controversial. It had a big impact on me and made me question the world I lived in for the first time. It made me want to find the answers, the truth. It planted a lot of seeds that looking back on it I still find it to be true, things about religion, politics, the elite. I really like the quote it had. "They must find it difficult... Those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority." -G. Massey
