Bad Thinkers


What is real? Is it the feelings that our mind generates or what we can physically view or feel. Or is beyond something our approach of understanding. Anyway, this is some hardcore philosophy that needs serious and objective research by many who are willing to put their life for it. I read an article in the aeon magazine.BAD THINKERS
It said about a young individual named Oliver and his belief in conspiracy theory for 9/11. He is convinced of the fact that it is government cover up and the towers were deliberately demolished for some reasons. He is unwilling even to listen to the facts and his belief is based on numerous authentic and unauthentic articles on 9/11 read in newspaper or in the net. As a person writer does not know him and the speculations people make for the basis of Oliver’s belief cannot be justified by his theories.
The writer explains it with a several of theories about which there is no existential proof available or authenticated otherwise. Reminds of a list of movies that were made for audience to believe in their own way. Some real life wide spread conspiracies like Watergate, JFK assassination, Subhash Bose disappearance and many more. Although, this can’t be proved the way the people think is right or wrong but the basis of their thinking in a certain way depends upon many factors situational as well as some capabilities of brain. In some sense I believe with writer’s notion of education helping people to keep alive their intellectual virtues and suppressing intellectual vices. The mere fact that education alone is the cause of people thinking the way they think is wrong. Sometime earlier I watched a movie name animatrix in which there was a chapter of a detective story which I happen to remember. The detective took a case of catching a ghost person named as trinity wanted for many cases by the government. He finds certain people gone crazy or vague or disappeared while finding her. Later he finds trinity but was unable to catch her. The chapter in the movie was not only a detective story only but also a conspiracy by authorities to hide legit information from public. But it was a science fiction based on imagination of the director, writer and the characters. In real life only evidences can lead to certainty only.
