I used to read up on a bunch of conspiracies but I don't think I ever really believed any of them too much, but if I had to say one specific conspiracy I do believe in it's the tech bro oligarchy. People like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are young enough and have essentially unlimited resources to enact their plan for "the world" as it were. Unfortunately I really believe they're going to succeed eventually.
YOU WILL LIVE TO SEE MANMADE HORRORS BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION.
Ultimately I think things'll work out ok, though.
