Notes -
Fellow Motteizans, what are your small scale conspiracy theories? I'm not talking grand narratives here. What minor, apolitical conspiracy theories do you explain to the next table at a diner.
For myself, I think at least some large portion of lottery drawings are not random. I base this belief on the fact that of repeat lottery winners, a suspicious number of them are math professors.
I haven't looked into this at all, but my priors lean heavily towards Flight 93 being shot down just because it would make so much sense in that situation, and then to concoct a heroic story of self-sacrifice.
I think that turns it from heroic to…well, still heroic, but desperate. Winning wasn’t just a gamble, it was the only way for them to live.
