It is now to the point that the conspiracies are not theories. The Epstein case is now so obvious that the only questions are how many people will be revealed, what companies may be affected and which countries will be implicated?
I am a "conspiracy theorist". I believe men and women of wealth and power conspire. If you don't think so, then you are what is called "an idiot". If you believe stuff but fear the label, you are what is called "a coward".

Yes, but the theorists keep them alive until they fail to go away—two decades in the Epstein case.
-
Yes that’s true. It also reveals how useless our media has become.
-
Or more importantly, how rigged the justice system is. The media didn't sentence him to work release.

There are many guilty parties in some of these cases.

'Men and women of wealth and power' is a relative term. To say all women and men of wealth and power conspire misses this. It then becomes a matter of what dominates long term, and thus our inner thoughts on human nature.
-
I have read that we invented language so that we could lie to each other.
-
I guess that is a marker that your "inner thoughts on human nature" are not as positive as mine. In the end the benefits of having to live with our thoughts is more important than being right, to me.
-
Are you saying the thoughts should be more pleasant even if incorrect?
-
No, I am saying being correct on an issue of eternal and irreducible uncertainty (that therefore cannot be resolved) is not as important as the quality of life that living with the belief involves.
-
Don't let it consume you, especially if there is no upside to pondering it? You bet. Shit happens. Life is not fair. Enjoy the moment. All true.
-
Shit yeah! Not all a bed of roses (thankfully). Those that lament "Life should be fair!" understand neither, imo. We make the best of what we can and in the end we are the best we can be.

People with wealth and power have much to lose. Conspiracies require more than two people to get together to do something beyond interesting, but no one can ever say a thing. Someone involved always has a motivation to spill the beans.

You do not need to contain the secret, only the response to it. >50% of the populace (including Robert Kennedy Jr.) think JFK was whacked by a conspiracy. So what? What are the consequences to this awareness?
-
In JFK’s case the “official” explanation from the Warren Commission, the “magic bullet theory”, is absurd. The shooting of Oswald not likely to be a coincidence either. I must concede that this is a prime example of a successful conspiracy.

As, apparently, was Epstein's lifestyle.

At the last meeting of one of my groups, we decided that there were no conspiracies. Remember Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."pic.twitter.com/Xcy9Sghe8f

I agree with the stupidity theory but do not let it blind to nefarious activities. Sociopathy is non-statistically populated in positions of power (estimates of up to 20%).
