Conspiracy theory as a practice

The unleashing of desire manifests itself in conspiratorial practice, which is the social production of the unconscious–its peripatetic wandering across the permeable gestalts of affinity individuals.

Hive achievements.

Real-life likes hankering after the wish-fulfillment of defeat culture.

The frame of conspiracy theory falls quickly into an assessment of the “theory” and its red-herring-like postulate of falsifiability. As the reaction to science, the ludic obsessions of the conspiracy believer proliferate–success measured by a popularity score.

We find the desire behind belief–a bias that scientific methods seek to remove through various transparency measures, mathematical explanation, and logical modeling, despite the leaps of causal inference–and the edifice of evidence, with its confident undertone of jurisprudence, always crumbles when it touches new evidence. 

A method of induction approaches the discourse on its own terms, which is to say, it equanimously avoids splitting fact from fiction, creation from result, origin from outcome. It preserves because it does not fear. It conserves because it wants to be contaminated.
