Conspiracy Theories

A conspiracy theory is an explanation of an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful actors, often political in motivation, when other explanations are more probable. The term has a pejorative connotation, implying that the appeal to a conspiracy is based on prejudice or insufficient evidence. Conspiracy theories resist falsification and are reinforced by circular reasoning: both evidence against the conspiracy and an absence of evidence for it, are re-interpreted as evidence of its truth, and the conspiracy becomes a matter of faith rather than proof.

Superstition in Our Marrow (Sonnet 2428) Earth is a planet of apes, ivory tower apes diss faith out of reason, pulpit apes diss reason out of faith - then there are the newage apes, chasing goat yoga, chakra penetration, fortune cards, and aura farming, who diss both conventional religion and science, for they've found a more self-absorbed method of hallucination.
