For me, it's a good argument against conspiracy theories. There's no way there could be secretive organisations running for years and controlling the world without screwing up in stupid and obvious ways.
- jgilias 3y agoYeah. I think anyone who has had experience with school/kindergarten parents chats trying to organize _anything_ would find the idea of shadowy organizations running the world laughable.
- lootsauce 3y agoTo the contrary does it not imply any well organized group should have an easier time of accomplishing their aims while the rest are mired in the chaos?
- esrauch 3y agoThe claim is that there are literally no observable organizations running without chaos, so are we to believe the only one to achieve it is nefarious instead of just regular profiteering? I like the meta conspiracy theory that the only organizations running without chaos are covert ones though.
- tsunamifury 3y agoIt’s more that within that chaos there are short bursts of organization that can pull off narrow conspiracies. There are also natural long term aligned players who conspire in ways that they can use their energy for their benefit. “Market makers” There are also random alignments that appear to be conspiracies ex post facto.
- insane_dreamer 3y ago> To the contrary does it not imply any well organized group should have an easier time of accomplishing their aims while the rest are mired in the chaos? This take makes sense to me. It's not the org as a whole that is accomplishing secret aims, but a sub-org within a chaotic org, or spread across multiple chaotic orgs, that is able to do so since no one is paying close attention to anything.
- polynomial 3y agoRight, the conspiracy is to destroy things, not build them.
