Rudy on Conspiracy Theories
By Jeremy | June 30, 2009
People love to attribute large, mysterious events (usually events we don’t like) to a plan skillfully executed by a hidden group of evil plotters. But what in life ever goes according to plan? I think the devil himself has trouble executing plans, because he has to rely on people to carry out his wishes, and people are a notoriously selfish bunch who don’t willingly submit to authority and who are, besides, only human. Whenever I hear a perspective that requires precise execution and alignment of improbable events, I pass. But only after listening for a while. Because conspiracy scenarios are, you know, pretty fascinating. The human mind can make some amazing connections and see monumental castles where there is only sand. Remember the quote attributed to Napoleon: “Never attribute to malice what can easily be explained by incompetence.”
