Many times I think about going back in time and telling myself about things happening now. I think about what things I would believe and what things I would not believe. When I was a teen and young man I was deep into conspiracy theories. This is pre-Internet. I have been aware of weather modifications for long enough and many other theories that turn out to be "projects" that they seem bland to me now.
But I would have never dreamed at how so many people would fall for this stuff today. It seems like many people went from believing everything authority figures told them to believing every crackpot theory they see on social media. People are dumb.
Is weather modification possible? Yeah. Is that very likely why a ton of rain dropped on an area in the US? I don't think so. The logic behind most of these theories is so flawed I don't have the patience to look into them. Usually I can tell they are BS in 10 seconds of the video from the influence peddler. I could be wrong, but the masses are now being manipulated in ways that they do not understand. The state is still evil but so many people are just addicted to the "drama" of these things that they fall for every scammer's theory.
Its all so tiresome.

Everything about conspiracy theories and the "state" changed when I realized how little me being aware was actually impacting my life in a positive way. I still think many of the same things are happening but it doesn't matter. What matters is what I do with my dash. The time and resources I have. I don't care to wake people up if all they are gonna do is post on social media. Do something constructive. Prepare. Solve problems. Improve yourself. Those things matter.
