You were telling me at the break, it's something called metaphor drift.
And I think that's such a good way to describe it.
And then you finally get to the end source that ends up in your feed.
And the goal of the publication or the video you're watching is just to get clicks and views and sensationalize.
Whereas the primary source, the goal was like, at least in earnest, to do science.
And so we see it with this, we're living in a simulation based on the research of this holographic principle, which has nothing to do with holograms as you think of them.
Wait, you're telling me the one side of my battery is not depressed and the other side is super happy?
And then the origin of that kind of even gets forgotten in the process by some people making these conspiracy theory claims.
Are there other conspiracy theories rather than like living in a simulation where the origin is based on some scientific or archaeological paper that was done in earnest and then it got translated and the metaphors drifted and published in one source, another source, another source, another source, and then accepted as truth when the final claim is totally wild?
Yeah, there is.
That is Atlantis.
Conspiracy theories that start from places that are kind of accurate.
Maybe it's an ancient text.
Maybe it's a scientific paper.
Then one source reports on it.
Another source reports on it.
And when it finally gets to you, claims like we're living in a hologram or Atlantis was definitely real with aliens or humanoids that had advanced technology.
This is how conspiracy theories arise.
