Why everything has to be a conspiracy? The food industry is so evil that the CEOs sat down and hatched a plan how to make us all sick, probably buying stock in drug companies to fix it?

This sloppy thinking does not pass through the razors. It is complicated (Occam's razor) and much better explained by stupidity (Hanlon's razor) than malice.

People are confused by this, because they see emergent behavior. Yes, everything has sugar, because sugar sells. There's no conspiracy, the companies are selling people what they want. So don't want what is not good for you.

I know that it's much more fun to believe that there's an evil with a face and name causing all our troubles rather than saying people demand this and market supplies.

People can't agree on a date of a meeting with five people. But world wide conspiracy flourishes, it's kept mostly secret (except of you, right? You're one of the few that know about it, because someone tweeted about it).

Conspiracies are for people who want to complain and find whose fault something is. Much better approach for each individual - identify what's good for you and demand it. And don't get fooled by emergent behavior in complex systems. It might feel planned, but it just appears out of trillions of interactions. Yes, it's magic. Soros, Gates and Klaus don't have much more say in it than you do.

Equally silly would be to believe that everything is an emergent phenomenon.

Conspiracy literally means that a group of people get together and speak on how to harm others. Con (with) Spire (breath) Your above statement qualifies as conspiracy. The important key factor is that by killing their customers they are not interested in a future with those customers. These compa...

It’s always “just a coincidence”, until the facts start coming out and the conspiracies are confirmed.

Conspiracies ( usually ) are for thoose who seeks explanation, they are directly associated with perception of any issue we cannot resolve in short time period so we need association for better grasp. Is easier to name something as plot than believe something is really what it is or conduct a compre...

Back in the 70s I remember a family friend who was an exec at a national meat co. And when asked why chicken was being injected with water he nearly had a new one ripped by the indignant wives when he said because the public demanded it. It was no sense. Who sat around thinking I really need to ram ...

Well put. Incentives matter, incentives make actors turn in the same direction. Emergent behavior guided by incentives

Kellog’s conspired to replace meat and eggs with cereal, so people would masturbate less. Rockefeller conspired, bought, shamed and schooled away natural medicine because he found a way to patent drugs from his oil reserves. Reality is not black or white, it’s more complex than we can imagine. B...

Trudeau conducts a lot of business behind secret closed door meetings. I dont doubt that hes stupid but what is he doing behind closed doors? Discussing his favorite recipe? Or is he maliciously conspiring against me?

Truth is in the middleground. Probably most of the times. It is true for example that basically 99% of the doctors in the world will tell you red meat and saturated fats will kill you, and you should instead eat cereals, and that cholesterol, any kind, is also going to kill you dead... how much do y...

Why aren't people alkaline in their bodies? We know now how to starve (manage) cancer. Easy answer, there are no economic insensitives to inform people how to change their life styles. The profits in high-carb and sugar foods and subsequent the pharmaceutical treatments needed to fix the decease ...

I have a problem with this oversimplified barrage of words. For something that is way more refined and complex. To blame the uninitiated for their erronious interpretations of events. Arising out of chaotic interaction as emergent behaviour or masterfully plannend and manipulated events seamingly be...

Yes, everything is not conspiracies. But to think there are none is pretty ignorant. Emergent systems are fascinating, and the participants are still responsible for their actions. Instead of making immoral choices and claim that "everyone else does it". The people you mention have much greater op...

Now do Covid conspiracies, please!
