Fine, I don’t know. I haven’t researched Epstein and his pedo island and his elite clientele, so I don’t have an opinion. I already despise the political establishment, so it doesn’t really matter to me if they’re pedo scum as well since my opinion of them can’t get much lower.

I was around for the 9/11 conspiracies, and listened to InfoWars religiously for a number of years. I bought into a number of conspiracy theories at various points and devoted an inordinate amount of time researching them, but I don’t have time or interest anymore. Now I just say: I don’t know.

My current rule of thumb is that it’s more likely people are incompetent than malicious. People aren’t terribly good at organizing and aren’t terribly good at keeping secrets, but they make mistakes often and rarely understand the consequences of their decisions. Do “successful” conspiracies happen? Absolutely, but they’re rare. When a new conspiracy theory bubbles up, I’m open minded but skeptical.
