Hey all,
We've been asking philosophical questions that don't dive into the normal polarization party lines. Partly bc we don't want to do that, partly bc I dont want to attention monger with divisive content. But if UpTrust is going to become the place we can make sense of the hardest stuff, and disagree generatively and respectfully across political and epistemelogical divides, we're got to leave the nest.
So today let's talk about global conspiracy theories, for real. I used to think conspiracy theories were crazy (it's hard enough coordinating a group of friends to go out to eat, much less a global cover up) but then Epstein... and what’s up with drake, pdiddy etc? What about the power elite we already know about? Is power concentrating in fewer hands bc of AI, robotics, and the general Matthew principle at play?
Let's talk, be generous with each other, watch our triggers, but also risk saying what we really believe, and gently challenging when it's appropriate. Good luck, and lots of love.
