Prototypic 04/03/24 7:45:46 PM #11:	I kind of wish that I believed that a human organization was capable of that level of coordination, planning and competence, especially over such long periods of time, but that has never been my experience. Are there wealthy, powerful individuals and shadowy cabals using their influence to manipulate and control society? Sure, it's not even usually hidden because it doesn't need to be, but the idea that there is a single organization that all these powerful people belong to, and they're all cooperative and obedient, never making any mistakes, never having a single member successfully betray them, while also sneaking secret signs and messages onto monuments and government documents and money, and in various media, sneakily hinting at their existence? Nah. --- Thus I became a madman. <cite>Prototypic posted [p:979717153] in Do you or ...
