Anyone who finds themselves putting the phenomenons our society down to mysterious, unknown powers tends to get labeled a conspiracy theorist. It’s true that when the facts don’t add up, or there is no rational explanation for something, it’s easy to come up with a far fetched argument. Obviously, this isn’t the best, or only way to “truth” – but at the same time, automatically believing the “official” explanation from those in power won’t shed any more light on the matter.
For every social event, there exists the accepted, official argument – and then the hundred or so “alternative” explanations and hypotheses. The idea that we stick with is not always the most logical, but usually the most dominant, or popular. That’s to say, the one which has been presented to us like a misile of misinformation – and is so overpowering that we can’t hear or make out any other possible ideas on the matter, regardless of their potential logic or common sense.
If what people want is the truth, and objectivity – something which is pretty unattainable in any case – then they have to reject the idea of one singular “correct” explanation. That barrage of information reaches us sooner rather than later – and worst of all, it reaches our collective subconscious without even trying. And all thanks to a very subtle strategy of experimentation with human weakness, used on us by the media-propaganda specialists.
If what is desired is reality, or impartiality – something which is impossible to acquire totally – we have to tune our ears, and open our eyes. To look further, and take more note of all the little, minor explanations – however many there may be, and however hard it is. Acknowledge all of them, even the silly ones – so that even when you’re not thinking about it anymore, just when you least expect it, the lightbulb with switch on, and all the pieces will suddenly fit together.
Careful though – whilst conspiring won´t necessarily solve all our problems, neither will always believing the answers of others.

This idea can be applied to anything. Rent apartments in Helsinki and get away from the predictable day to day.
