Apollodorus

I think that's a good observation. The corporate community represented by powerful think tanks like the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilatera...

No idea. I'm just asking. Presumably, different races have different cultures (and religions). Or are we to ignore cultural and religious factors and ...

That's a good point. In which category would you put police detectives acting on a working hypothesis to solve a crime?

Because I'm referring to a subclass of "conspiracy theory" or theory about conspiracy, not the "antithesis" of it. Maybe it could be called "analytica...

What about culturally and religiously?

That's very true. But, equally, some people may seek power due to overconfidence, feelings of superiority, etc., and resulting sense of entitlement. B...

Yes, it is a theory. But I'm referring to those conspiracy theories that are (1) evidence-based, (2) well-thought-out, and (3) likely to be true, as o...

So, "racial equality" is defined primarily in economic terms. Or?

Yes. That makes sense. But it still needs to be established how big a factor powerlessness is in particular cases. I'm sure even powerful people might...

Yes, I suppose we all do know people like that in our lives. And we ourselves may belong to one camp or the other on occasion.

I see what you mean. However, this was not what I meant by conspiracy theory. By "conspiracy theory" in this context I meant something more like "fact...

There may be some truth in that. However, the question arises as to whether feeling powerless is (1) a fundamental or innate feature of their psycholo...

Actually, that's a lie. This was your "question": And this was my answer: Obviously, the answer is NO.

Agree. Despite all the progress, inequality seems to be an intractable problem and new forms of inequality constantly emerge. Money hasn't solved the ...

Correct. I think the rational approach would be to consider a conspiracy theory on its own merits and always under due consideration of what is genera...

That appears to be the case. The original object of philosophy was to enable us to attain freedom, especially intellectual and spiritual. Hence Plato'...

It may also be worthwhile noting that while initially politics played a minor role in our lives, society seems to have become more and more politicize...

And what I'm suggesting is that you’re reading the wrong books, ignoring the sources, denying the facts, and constructing your own science fiction the...

Sure. But as I explained to you on the other threads, you've got no chance in a million of achieving that as long as you don't understand what those a...

Correct. Steigmann-Gall makes some valid points in The Holy Reich. Obviously, some Nazi leaders, perhaps including Hitler himself, were atheists. But ...

That's what I'm saying. Save your psychoanalysis to your family members. You seem to recognize (falsely, most of the time) one emotion, and no more. Y...

lol I do appreciate your sense of humor. Do carry on.

lol I never said "Gott mit uns" was "exclusively" Prussian. I simply said the Nazis continued a Prussian tradition. They didn't specifically introduce...

Sullivan & Cromwell were a top law firm that represented top bankers and industrialists like J P Morgan, Ford, and Rockefeller. As the Rockefellers gr...

"Gott mit uns" was a Prussian military tradition going back to the 1800s. The Nazis simply continued it. I don't think we should read too much into it...

It wasn't me who started this thread. You're getting angry with yourself IMO.

Well, it isn't fair of you to allege "conspiracy theory" either, when I was just trying to help you understand some facts that you seemed unaware of. ...

That was an exaggeration on my part. I had no intention to start a thread with that specific title and I never will. And no, I'm not "angry" at all. L...

I just told you that the very first CIA director was Allen Dulles, partner at the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell that was representing Rockefeller inter...

Yes, that seems like a sensible way to look at it. However, I'm not sure if it's fear of life in general or fear of certain ideas that seem to threate...

That's what I was trying to point out to you. You keep making claims without producing any evidence to back them up, like someone who's been condition...

Well, we don't tend to come into the world with too many ideas in our head. We tend to start with some basic sense perceptions and emotions. As our em...

It's no big deal. I was just trying to help you because your statements seemed to display some psychotic or manic features apart from the fact that th...

Not at all, I only mentioned the Fabians here in passing simply to refute your claim that the Rockefellers had nothing to do with anything, when David...

Well, that amounts to an admission that you're using the forum for your own agendas like you did with some of my threads. As for you "leaving a set of...

And what I'm saying is that David Rockefeller must have had some control over intelligence agencies if he was involved in creating them. He also set u...

Well, that statement of yours definitely makes it sound like a proper philosophy forum. But as a matter of fact I said this: So, I don't think it's me...

I'm not talking about the SPD's alliance with the German military at all. I'm talking about this: Marxism - philosophy or hoax? But I do agree that mu...

I'm afraid rising beyond it is the only way. With a bit of luck it toughens you up and makes you more philosophical, too.

I can't disagree with that. However, I think people might be more inclined to say "thank you" if they're allowed to criticize any system including Mar...

Emotion would certainly seem to be a factor. You can tell from the way they tend to become agitated and turn irate the moment you challenge their prec...

Sounds like a sensible proposition.

To be quite honest, the impression I got soon after joining was that this forum does have a left-wing bias, just from the way I was attacked for point...

Well, perspective does matter if it impacts on what beliefs we accept or reject IMO

I don't blame @Hanover to be honest. You do tend to employ oracular pronouncements that you subsequently seem to retract without apparently retracting...

Or couscous for that matter. I've always felt it's a waste of time.

I tend to agree with that. But if the site owners don't want to tell us there isn't much we can do. If we press them they can always give us false inf...

I was just asking because I noticed there is no info anywhere and I thought someone here might know. But it isn't a big deal to me.

OK. I suppose that's better than nothing. Thanks.

I don't think anyone mentioned "billions" or "Hamas". Not me in any case. All I'm saying is when you subscribe to something, you'd normally like to ha...
