When it comes to conspiracy theories, I have a few rules: 1. If I were the conspirator, what would be the most sensible thing to do? 2. Things are more complicated and nuanced than they seem 3. Irrationality and mistakes exist. If a narrative is too clean, then it's suspicious.

For Epstein: 1. Would "suiciding" Epstein reduce suspicion in me? Were there any other, more sensible ways to achieve that? 2. My motivations would be subject to a lot of different pushes and pulls 3. It's possible the guards were actually just negligent with no other motive.

For 9/11: 1. Would false flagging actually be the best way to get oil (or whatever else I wanted?) 2. Pulling something off of that magnitude yourself without people knowing would be really complicated 3. It's possible everybody was just stupid and negligent

I like the 9/11-was-an-inside-job conspiracy theory, I think it's one of my favorites. But the narrative around the conspiracy feels a little suspiciously clean to me. If I imagine being the mastermind behind it, it starts to feel closer to a thriller movie.

What if the conspiracy was simply that they had evidence that an attack was underway, and chose not to intervene, because they desired a pretense for going to war in Iraq?

9/11 is the dumbest conspiracy. What we’re they supposedly achieving? We went o war with Afghanistan after 9/11. A country with no oil or anything else of any worth. It’s an incredibly poor country for a reason. People made money off of Iraq which did not require 9/11 to start
