Let me set the scene.

I am now back in school, one of the classes assignments was public speaking: give a 5 minute talk about anything you want. Seems straightforward enough. One guy talks about dice, another guy played a kind of psychotic video and talked about how it helped motivate him to hit the gym. Today someone steps up to the plate and leads with "I really like conspiracy theories."

It starts pretty funny, weird numerology, ancient aliens, aperently there is a conspiracy that the reason people aren't allowed on the pyramids is because the pyramid electrocuted a guy. Good fun, mostly. Then it comes to the question period and it gets to be weirder. Some easy answers; Epstein didn't kill himself type stuff, some covid stuff; "an article came out recently that says masks never worked and (((they))) were using it as a way to test (((their))) control over us." We are only supposed to have 3 questions but the teacher is a Tesla-Bitcoin guy who loves cops so he just let's the questions keep coming.

After class this guy posts a 9 hour video into the group chat so my question is has anyone watched it? I would way rather take the cliff notes than subject myself to that video to figure out where exactly this guy is at.

    I’ve watched it sort of half paying attention. The video itself is the cliff notes, and he basically covers a huge list of all kinds of conspiracy theories which get more and more obscure. This video is mostly intended to be fun and entertaining so I wouldn’t take it too seriously.

    For more serious conspiracy theory stuff check out his video on MLK’s assassination. It’s pretty decent and does a good job of explaining the holes in the “official” explanation.
