Jeff Swann on Nostr: Conspiracies are almost as common to the human condition as breathing. Santa Clause ...

Conspiracies are almost as common to the human condition as breathing. Santa Clause is a conspiracy "for the children" that parents really seem to enjoy being a part of. Movies romanticize "top secret clearance" because power & status is the sort of thing people fantasize about.

Many of us are conspiring to build & advance #Bitcoin & #Nostr & #Keet & similar tech in an effort to undermine the power of a bunch of political parasites. It would be pretty silly (especially since we all know about the meetings in Davos & elswhere) to think those political parasites don't conspire to expand their own power. And I think many have probably really deluded themselves into believing the world might end if they don't obtain the power & control they need to "save us all." That's actually much scarier if you really think about it.

But everything is not a conscious conspiracy. Most of the things that happen are (more than likely) conspiracies of ignorance & arrogance & fear. People are not all that different from one another, so many people of a similar level of ignorance or arrogance or fear will tend to converge on the same idiotic ideas at the same time.

Don't let them win. Keep conspiring to educate & build & set the world free.
