This thread is one of those ones that I won't even start with. The pros and cons for some of these conspiracies are pretty damn detailed and it would not do the subject justice to try and discuss this in such a limited way.
That’s the whole idea... sometimes the details are important and the story may or may not sound convincing, but some topics seem to only come up when someone is trying to be creative and get attention with a fictional story.
DARPA is a great example. People get tired of using the CIA, even though they are explicitly in the conspiracy business, so the person making up the conspiracy will name drop other government agencies like DARPA without understanding the actual role of those agencies within the government.
I’m curious from a broad-strokes perspective whether any particular subject makes you pay closer attention or roll your eyes and stop listening.
