Which is more frightening: that conspiracy theories are true or that conspiracy theories are false?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37359points) June 8th, 2011

Which is scarier? That Kennedy was murdered by a second gunman acting under the orders of some vast overarching organization or that Oswald acted alone?

What about The Illuminati? Is it more worrisome to believe in them and their control over world events or that events merely happen arising out of nothing?

It’s my opinion that people seek refuge in the lie of control that conspiracies offer. The idea that somewhere someone is operating some kind of control gives some people comfort in a weird way.

Truth is much harsher. There is no order. There is no control. There is only the perception of control.

There is only chaos.
