Reply #57: Otherworldy Ventures: timesink?

[xocolatl]

Problem is we're so inundated with provable political shenanigans that to spend time on otherworldly ventures seems like a timesink.

I disagree that such an endeavor is a timesink. The only way the political shenanigans can be understood is by surfing through the literature on otherworldly ventures.

I don't believe every crazy :tinfoilhat: conspiracy theory posted on the web is (necessarily) the literal truth. However, even the most outlandish narratives (e.g. David Icke) offer insight into our collective unconscious, in which hides many of the secrets we might wish to expose.

In other words, brain-sucking sauroids in collusion with our government probably do not literally exist, but they sure are an apt metaphor for what is demonstrably happening to our civilization. The fact that many people accept the metaphor, either as truth or as interesting entertainment, tells us that we collectively know something terrible is in the works.
