The wackiest conspiracy theories are probably the ones most promoted by the establishment since they taint all the plausible theories.

Not really. They’re wacky because being believed by the establishment, they have consequences. I’m not bothered by flat Earthers and vaccine deniers. I am bothered when they’re in power, because now their beliefs have influence.

		They're wacky because people want to live in a wacky world of cults and Satan and aliens and ciphers and wheels within wheels, where at least something is in control and there is an order to reality, however obscure and evil, as opposed to a world of chaos and mundane grasping evil where there is no purpose beyond rich bastards getting richer.
