Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

    That the UK and USA invaded Iraq to increase the cost of oil and artificially limit supply. Also, that we may be in a history simulation.

      Haliburton and Raytheon. Cheney and Rumsfield.

      Man I wish we still tarred and featherd people. If anyone ever deserved it it’s those two. Bush was just a useful idiot chosen because he was “a guy you could drink a beer with at a bar.”

      Iraq having WMD was an intentional lie and you’ll pretty much never convince me otherwise (unless there’s irrefutable evidence of course lol)

      GWB knew he could not undercut China on labor costs but if he could keep energy prices down the USA could compete with China on some parts of manufacturing.

        So the hypothesis, not a theory as such, is that something happens that is devastating. Sometime in the future a new civilisation rises from the ashes, sets up super computers to figure out where itwent wrong, due to the passage of time, and to hope to avoid similar. The other history simulation idea is similar, but they’re trying to work out how Universes develop and we’re just a side effect, a blink of an eye to them. Both are tragic, one because if we announce ourselves as sentient byproducts they could switch us off; the other because we were always destined to die and fail.
