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.

Conspiracy literally means that a group of people get together and speak on how to harm others.

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 companies specifically engineer health and colors to psychology engage their customers with phrases like, "Balance your consumption."

Another sign of Conspiracy is ESG. The only financial incentive is for Easy Money from Investors of Large Funds. Otherwise the focus would be on the well being of customers and thus profits.

Exactly! Think conspiracies are just wild theories? Take a closer look at the everyday. The fast food industry has carefully crafted products high in sugars and salts to keep us coming back for more. The tech world has meticulously designed features and interfaces that tap into our psychology to boost screen time—they even wrote books on it. These aren’t just ideas; they’re real-world examples of coordinated efforts. Conspiracies, it turns out, can be hiding in plain sight.

Some people have motives to sell us more food or sell our attention. Other people sell healthy food, information on how unhealthy the food is. Some platforms are designed not to grab our attention and sell it. For every force there is a counterforce in the market. Everyone is discovering what works for them.

This world view of evil conspirators trying to kill us takes away our responsibility. No one is forcing me to use big social or eat seed oils. They have business plans, I have my plans.

It is all more like a bazaar, yet people seem to imply there's a single hierarchy with a plan. Even the big corporations and states compete with each other.

Yes the marketplace! 'bazaar' but I call this bazaar truly bizarre! And open and fair? Well that's why certain people kling to the church around the corner..😉

ESG is profit motive - it is pure regulatory capture.

Profit for who? Depopulation and Communism is also a profit motive and a conspiracy against the free market.

When a business cuts it's own throat in order to gain favorable status in lending it's not profit.

It does not cut it's own throat. It works the same way as other standards - it is taking out competition. Access to loans is only late addition, although it by itself is enough motive in fiat economy. Getting access to money printer for negative interest rate is worth a lot of money, sure they can hire a few people to write some ESG bullshit paperwork, it's cheaper than whatever they make on interest only.

But the real thing is capture of the market. Big corporations enforce this bullshit through network effects. Want to be a supplier to IBM? Sure, show them your ESG project. Want to do consulting for a bank? Oh sorry mate, even though you are single contractor, we can't accept suppliers without ESG. Because we want to keep our ESG certificate too and if we contract with non ESG entities, we lose it.

Basically ESG is creating special market with privileged access with cheap credit and cheap competitors out. And they get preferred access to money printed by the state (budget)
