I seem to attract the crazies like flies, and for whatever reason they're all instantly comfortable enough to divulge everything to me. Some of them obviously aren't bright enough to have a clue about reality or "the truth", but the ones who are - people with good education/degrees/professional careers, yet still believe even the most extreme of these conspiracy theories - these are the people who really intrigue me. Much like rumors and stereotypes, I figure there's likely a nugget of truth buried somewhere in the bullE36 M3, and I like hearing how they piece it all together.
From my take on it all, I see a strong psychological resemblance between spirituality and some of these theories - and before anyone attacks, no, I'm not discounting or disputing anyone's beliefs - quite the opposite, actually. Some people need to believe in [insert deity of choice] for their life to feel fulfilled, and that's a cool & Very Good Thing. Most people who are true believers in their given faith are better people because of it. However, for some reason these conspiracy theorists need to believe in aliens/bigfoot/ghosts/government coverups/etc. Otherwise, their life/world/place within it, all start to lose meaning.
