They know better what the ingredients that are safe are than I do, because I am not an expert in that.
And I don't care if I want to get a beer with you.
I want you to know this better than I do.
That's a nanny I want.
But then the pejorative version is like a level of power that people seem to assume the government already has if these conspiracy theories are true, which is like they can pull these strings and they are hypnotizing us.
And in the book that I'm reading right now, the Naomi Klein book, Doppelganger, she talks about defining conspiracy theories and the context that she was talking about, I thought was really helpful.
Yeah.
that in COVID we saw all of these tech companies and Amazon, et cetera, really benefiting from stay at home policies and profiteering opportunistic uses of like, we're going to try our new technology, et cetera, et cetera.
That's true.
But then you had the next branch of people who took that reality and said, well, this must mean that Amazon and their ilk caused COVID.
Yeah.
And that's a bridge too far.
And so like that was a fun one.
Yeah.
So the distinction that she adds to the definition of like the government and some cabal is involved in in some nefarious plan is that the accusations are also false and unproven.
And I think you even mentioned making money being the motive.
And it's why the Naomi Klein book says apolitical people tend to be the first ones to fall victim to these conspiracies because they don't tend to have a firm grasp on the mechanisms of capitalism.
And when you understand that that's the motivator, no more, no less, everything makes a lot more sense.
And also the evidence based piece, because that that bit of the definition that the Naomi Klein book presented on on what's a capital C, capital T conspiracy theory really helps me distinguish the things that are based on very little from the things that are scary and dark and large scale and from people who have more control than we do.
but are real.
