why? is this a distraction from your personal life and feelings?

Getting more in touch with my feelings and improving all aspects of my life led me to be curious about conspiracies.

I used to think it was all bs, and all conspiracy theorists were as deranged as Alex Jones

what was in particular about sorting through your feelings and improving your life that made you curious about conspiracies? or is it your mind distracting you to avoid your own emotional pain

I want to know the truth about everything. And particularly war and human conflict. There are conspiracies that relate directly to that.

It's about a desire for truth and what's real, independent of what anyone else thinks or projects onto you.

Maybe conspiracy theories are bull shit and I'll realize that in time, but right now I am open minded and so I am open to all sides

I think most people that get into conspiracy theories are looking for truth. But they reality is the world is very complicated and nuanced, CTs offer a very simplified way of looking at the world, where there are good guys and bad guys, evil vs good. This is very appealing as it offers a way to understand the world which we all crave, I think there's an anxiety of not knowing. To be clear many other ideologies offer this, religion, politics etc. 

I think real truth seeking starts with the acceptance of not knowing, being OK with not having an all encompassing world view. Accepting the anxiety you feel of not knowing and being cool with it. From this point you're not tied to any ideology and can take in new information without it having to make it fit into an already established theory. If you notice this is why most CTs spin off and get bigger and bigger because new information  has to be explained within the context of a theory. 

If you're seeking truth you will have to hold multiple ideas in your head at once and not favour one over another just because it fits a narrative. So for example yes Pfizer are trying to make money from their vaccine, but also yes the vaccine will save many lives.

@Raptorsin7

how could a conspiracy theory being true or not relate directly back to you and your life?

[BipolarGrowth]

Whether a conspiracy theory is true or not, we can be certain that it is of interest of those in power to support the idea that only stupid people believe in conspiracy theories. 
 

If you look only at official declassified documents released by the U.S. Government, you can see that multiple things which were conspiracy theories at one point were true and many rather scary and atrocious things people might not have even theorized about being the case took place. 
 

It’s generally not a wise use of time to go down the various conspiracy rabbit holes though as the majority are mostly BS.

@Nahm @Roy @Leo Gura ban these guys, what are you guys doing???

If you see anything that's against Forum Guidelines, just report it and move on. There's no need to stir up some needless drama, it's so tiresome when actual discussion gets derailed like this. Like I don't see a need for someone at act janitor roles in addition to moderators around here.

Yeah man, it hurts so much. 

Thanks for snapping me out my delusions.

You seek like a very wise and conscious person, what other advice can you offer me 

 

[John Paul]

@Raptorsin7  let you know that one of the guys commenting on this post was spreading a conspiracy theory that was started by hitler to be anti-jewish. the rothschild banking conspiracy theory. it is not okay. it is absolutely not okay.

[Raptorsin7]

@John Paul You should write a modern bible. You are just so wise it's hard to stomach.

[John Paul]

@Raptorsin7

lol. how does "seeking to discover truth about conspiracy theories" help progress society, any individual's self-actulization/sprituality or anything?

I'm not trying to shit on your post man, i'm sorry. but there's a leo video on conspiracy theory and everything... this is a trap bro, get out of there

[Raptorsin7]
