Thinking, as commonly practiced, equals nothing but simple story-telling; which is no problem as long as you can remember the difference between the wind and a weather vane.
There would be no progress for man were it not for the relentless running of his thoughts, including the meaningless ones. That is to say the majority of them.
Everything is systemic – including periodic anomalies.
The one actual conspiracy is, and always has been, men’s attempt to keep what they have, which accounts for the poor’s invention of the concept of conspiracy. Care to consider how this applies to man’s natural mind and its self-defense?
The sooner the better that you realize the name of life’s game is: vested-interest.
