    Excellent vlog guys. Conspiracy theories…. I was a UK government employee for 30 years. There is no way that the UK government is competent enough to organise a party in a brewery, let alone execute then cover up the murder of a high profile individual. By extension, this would apply to all other governments in the world. Government is just not clever enough!

      @makadeni123 The Baker Street bank robbery was the theft of valuables from a Lloyds Bank on 11th September 1971. It just so happens that my brother was a Lloyds bank, bank manager. There were government restrictions on allowing the contents of some of the content of the safety deposit boxes to be published. Some of the theories say that there were compromising pictures of a royal contained. That’s hardly a conspiracy. The government slaps restrictions on reporting all the time for ‘national security’ reasons. It’s not on the scale of assassination or alien contact cover up. Conspiracy theorists will turn everything into a conspiracy because they are limited in imagination (in the same way flat-earthers and creationists have to make up fairy stories) and have lost their grip on understanding how the world works. Conspiracies are usually low level and exist to cover up incompetence.

    On the whole, conspiracy theories over estimate the competence and ability of people in positions of authority, and I think that is often a projection by conspiracy theorists of their own imagined competence and ability.

      I have often wondered if it isn't a stubborn refusal to acknowledge the scary fact of just how incompetent and powerless we humans really are. So they make up these stories that at least make it seem some group of humans actually have control. So they project that competence and ability that only exist in Bond-movies, and not in actual reality, on those people.

    The Area 51 security isn't that unusual really. I used to have a job for the British Post Office years ago where I wasn't even allowed to tell anybody what my job was or where it was based. It was a mundane job, it just had a lot of money around which hardly anyone knew about so that people wouldn't try to steal it. Then a alter job where there was some sort of massive computer. No idea what that was, but the point is that preventing people from knowing things is common practice and doesn't have to be about aliens. (And if anyone is getting any ideas, these places I worked are long gone!)

      Also it's well known that Area 51 was, and probably still is, where they used to build and test new plane designs. X planes (as they were designated at the time) were also generally unpainted metal (there are plenty of photos around now). So all those shiny flying objects near Area 51? I mean... much more likely to be test planes is all I'm saying :)

    The people who go in for conspiracy theories are usually mediocre in every respect. They crave attention but haven't got the skill, personality, money, talent, or anything else needed to be the focus of attention. Putting forward or simply adopting conspiracy theories makes them think they'll appear to be more interesting or intelligent & gives them a feeling of superiority because they have managed to work out, or are in the know about, things that the general public doesn't know exists. It's simply a way for them to feel valued, & they delude themselves that people telling them that they're wrong about their wacky theories are simply jealous of them. It's sad, in a way, that they crave attention so much they're willing to be considered crazy, instead of simply working hard at their deficits or on their personality to make people interested in them. I pity them, but they are annoying when you cannot even have a rational discussion with them. They'd rather believe governments or large organisations would spend larger amounts of money or time trying to trick us all than doing the thing that's the focus of the conspiracy, as Mitchell & Webb clearly pointed out.
    In historical times, it was easy to believe a conspiracy theory. The general public was not as educated as today, & scientific knowledge was harder to acquire, or simply the advances necessary to understand the concepts involved hadn't been formulated. Additionally, you didn;t have the sun of human knowledge at your fingertips. Now, if we have a question, a quick search online can throw up all the answers we will ever need. There is simply no excuse in the present day to rely on conspiracy theories & not facts.

    Not to be a conspiracy theorist myself, but... I think it's pretty widely accepted that at least the general foundation of JFK theories are somewhat true. Even a few acting presidents have basically said as much. We just don't know the bigger details because they've never declassified anything. That is why it's harder to make one of these about jfk... because it doesn't immediately fall apart under scrutiny like the others.

    Good choice J&N. Lost two people to Covid, none to the vaccine. There is a massive conspiracy against valid science coming out of the USA that most of the rest of the world doesn't buy into. As educators I hope that you guys will continue to endorse the principle that things that should be taught have some kind of genuine validity, as the alternative is something serious dark and ugly. I have a teacher test. To find out how good a teacher is. Its the same as my Parent test. If the kids are joyous, energetic and enthusiastic, they are being well teachered, and well parented. But that's not enough by itself. Individuality has to shine out as well. Hopefully, the days when a child exhibited individuality and was blythely labled "immoral "as a result, repressed, even sectioned, are permanently gone. But there is a lot of weird stuff going down in America these days. To the extent that I think that nobody should rest on their laurels. But hey. I'm maybe being too serious.
