    About this ebook

    How many questions can you answer?:

     

    • What is a conspiracy?

    • What is a conspiracy theory?

    • How big and complex can conspiracies be?

    • How common is conspiracy?

    • How many people can keep a secret?

    • Was 9/11 a conspiracy?

    • Is the author of this book a conspiracy theorist, conspiracy analyst, conspiracy scientist, conspiratologist, or conspiracist?

     

    Countless books have been written about conspiracy—many of them propagandists. In fact, the propaganda is so sophisticated and relentless, many people don't even know exactly what conspiracy and conspiracy theory are. (Are conspiracy theories really "epistemically self-insulating against disconfirmation"?)

     

    At last, David W. Blomstrom has put conspiracy science on the map. What Is Conspiracy leaves no stone unturned in exploring the origins of conspiracy and conspiracy theory, along with their names and definitions.

     

    A chapter titled "Conspiracy Quotas" explores conspiracy magnitude. How big, sophisticated and destructive can conspiracies be? How long can they last? How evil and intelligent are conspirators?

     

    If you answered the next to last question "No," you need to read this book. Even the U.S. government classifies 9/11 as a conspiracy.

     

    So throw away books written by Alex Jones or Sir Karl Popper and embrace logic and science. What Is Conspiracy belongs in every truther's library. In fact, anyone who enjoys riddles, puzzles, mysteries, and paradoxes might enjoy the insights this book offers.

      On Ways of Being Seen

      Dec 14, 2021

      Every so often, I return to books that shaped my thinking as a young person. Recently, I’ve done that with John Berger’s classic 1972 text on art history and mass media, Ways of Seeing. I was first assigned it in a film-studies class in high school,

      Through the Human Lens: The Millions Interviews Meghan O’Gieblyn

      I’m always baffled when self-professed “rationalists” object to the supernatural claims of religion—that a virgin could give birth, that God could be three persons. Modern science contains just as much mind-bending absurdity. The post Through the Hu

      AGREEING to DISAGREE

      May 2, 2021

      Have we become more disagreeable in the 21st century? Has social media made it harder to change people’s minds? We have been getting more “disagreeable” for centuries as our societies have become steadily more egalitarian, diverse and disputatious. B

      Identifying Your Book’s Target Audience
