As long as deviation can be successfully labelled as 'conspiracy theory', the institutions probably won't have too much trouble. It's when the majority of people begin to see the BS in at least one area, that things wil

Westworld is one of my favorite shows as well. (Have you seen Person of Interest? Same director, similar themes later on around S3-4) I think you're right, that westworld doesn't have a lot of superfluous details - but the degree
