Here on these fora, due in large part to the Principia, conspiracies are all fnord and cheeky fun. Sadly for all the world this is not the case. That was what I was refering to. I was NOT refering to the ability of a conspiracy to be an entertaining plot device in fiction. I was refering to real people who sincerely believe that there are real conspiracies that are running the world and , almost invariably, those shadowy hands are somehow keeping them from some happiness.

Apologies for the confusion.
