well, as you know, about equal amounts of conspiracy theories are bunk as true, and of teh true ones, often the reality is even worse than is thought by people who believe it.

in fact, believing in conspiracy theories that aren't bunk is the opposite of gullible, and being curious about them is also reasonable. it is unreasonable to reject information based on their contradiction of what authorities say. when did authorities not abuse the trust of the people who trust them, ever, in history. very few. to the defense of the ones that were mostly good, but then betrayed, sometimes their were cornered into it.

yeah, i try to keep an open mind without getting attached to certain things which reminds me i'm getting attached to religion at the moment--christianity.

conspiracy or not. the american evangelical movement that supports zionism is the weirdest scam ever. you would think if God actually spoke to ministers you would have a lot that would realize the scam.

it's as bad as the covid vax brainwashing...

and now back to questioning myself, what scams am I falling for that I don't even know right now? big life scams.

i think i found out that "sex outside of heterosexual marriage" is a big scam last year.

"tanins in wine" are good for you. --although to be fair i think my body is having extra difficulty consuming alcohol after covid vax. but now that i'm not drinking, i see the subliminal cues to drink everywhere that i never noticed before.

it's not the tannins in wine that are good for you, it's the color chemicals, i forget what they are called... maybe anthocyanins or some name like this. reservatrol is one specifically in red (ie purple) grape skins. there is also some amounts of others as well.

but yeah, the marketing machine for alcohol is intense. it's fine to drink a pint of beer or cider daily but beyond that it rapidly turns into poison. in fact it probably is actually beneficial to have a small amount.

i figure that is probably due to evolution and humans being meat/root/leaf/fruit eaters, all ripe and near over-ripe fruit have a little in them, and all those color chemicals protect against the damage caused by sugars.
