Question: What are your general thoughts on this essay? Am I right? Wrong? Why?

( Back )

Answer #1:

Could be

Answer #2:

...huh.

Isn't hyping false-fear through propaganda what conspiracy theorists are supposed to do?

Answer #3:

Well there are two parts I believe.

1st) Conflict is a healthy part of human nature.

2nd) This need leads some to concoct conspiracy theories.

I am mostly in agreement that conflict is healthy and is apart of human nature. That is because of the dichotomous paradigm conflict originates from. We are either in "conflict" or "peace". I suppose conflict is just forces opposing each other. And since everything in this universe (from my perspective) is following its natural course, it is natural for there to be a resolution when two or more forces oppose each other. So conflict provides several things.

A) A resolution to a problem. That is, a way for the universe to follow its laws and retain elasticity.

B) Through that elasticity, the ability to learn. Situations which were static are now given to be dynamic.

C) Finally conflict is, from a non-dualistic point of view, a mechanism which creates and destroys in one swoop. (I was not attempting to be redundant with point B, In point B I was discussing the subjects view)

So, Yes. Conflict is good and needed.

As for the 2nd part I disagree. I believe most conspiracy buffs have a need to avoid conflict and blame problems on uncontrollable and unforeseeable events, actors, concepts ect..
Which is unfortunate because there are plenty of REAL problems to deal with. I do agree that CTs never have answers. In this sense they remind me of partisan buffs. lol
