it's lovely because they turn so quickly from "here are readily verifiable facts about the interests of the parties involved and inconsistencies of the official timelines that show the likelihood of prior knowledge and make intent a more likely explanation than incompetence" to "here are empirical topics we don't understand but we value our ignorant intuitions over the positions of knowledgeable people". it's confusing the type of skepticism that questions western geopolitical narratives with the type that questions the shape of the earth. it's the opposite of truth seeking, it's searching for mystical explanation. the alternative plane pentagon thing is literal transubstantiation: it cannot be observed or falsified, it serves no purpose to the conspiracy, it's only a belief to be used as a badge of faith and to give a sense of secret knowledge

and it's superfluous and associates disbelieving the official narrative with irrational mythmaking

yeah that was disappointing they just went in on everything, it really diminishes the value of the actual inconsistencies

to me, the most compelling evidence they presented of a 9/11 conspiracy was the anthrax letters. there really seems to be no other explanation to that except as a cherry on top of 9/11 to get the patriot act passed

watched “feels good man”

its good but i thought the chapo ep took a much deeper dive on the actually interesting topics the movie touched on. i mean, its anchored by the human interest story of matt furie and his fight to reclaim pepe, which is fine and interesting, but he is completely irrelevant to what pepe became and, more accurately, what pepe’s indicative of—late stage capitalist alienation of a bunch of brain poisoned nihilist idiots that are addicted to online with no hopes of a future.

CHOMSKY: And here comes Bilbo Baggins. Now, this is, to my mind, where the story begins to reveal its deeper truths. In the books we learn that Saruman was spying on Gandalf for years. And he wondered why Gandalf was traveling so incessantly to the Shire. As Tolkien later establishes, the Shire’s surfeit of pipe-weed is one of the major reasons for Gandalf’s continued visits.

ZINN: You view the conflict as being primarily about pipe-weed, do you not?

CHOMSKY: Well, what we see here, in Hobbiton, farmers tilling crops. The thing to remember is that the crop they are tilling is, in fact, pipe-weed, an addictive drug transported and sold throughout Middle Earth for great profit.

ZINN: This is absolutely established in the books. Pipe-weed is something all the Hobbits abuse. Gandalf is smoking it constantly. You are correct when you point out that Middle Earth depends on pipe-weed in some crucial sense, but I think you may be overstating its importance. Clearly the war is not based only on the Shire’s pipe-weed. Rohan and Gondor’s unceasing hunger for war is a larger culprit, I would say.

CHOMSKY: But without the pipe-weed, Middle Earth would fall apart. Saruman is trying to break up Gandalf’s pipe-weed ring. He’s trying to divert it.

ZINN: Well, you know, it would be manifestly difficult to believe in magic rings unless everyone was high on pipe-weed. So it is in Gandalf’s interest to keep Middle Earth hooked.

CHOMSKY: How do you think these wizards build gigantic towers and mighty fortresses? Where do they get the money? Keep in mind that I do not especially regard anyone, Saruman included, as an agent for progressivism. But obviously the pipe-weed operation that exists is the dominant influence in Middle Earth. It’s not some ludicrous magical ring.
