What about all the destruction wrought by the Olympics, every time. People moved out of the area, areas destroyed.
The Olympics is all about money, not just nationalism.

But i cannot see the absolutely fanatic following among the workers for spectator sports disappearing any time soon, can you? You’d be laughed out of the pub.
I helped briefly at a child day care centre, and i saw spontaneous natural play silenced and crushed, and replaced with supervised competitive sport, with shouting and commands.
If you apprehend a cosmic simulator, or arrest God for obscene literature (the Bible), please let us know, and we will adjust our thinking.
The notion of simulation requires a simulator, hence an Intelligent Designer, hence a God (or Devil), and brings us back to the same human dependency on centrality. People just cannot bear to give up the idea that they are central to everything; that everything exists in order to serve them, be solely interested in them, or bamboozle them. Nothing terrifies them as much as Carl Sagan’s pale blue dot.
And today’s conspiracism is the latest manifestation of this need to feel significant and important, and watched.
The conspiraloons i have known start with Leftist pro-rights and freedom talk, moving to Illuminati conspiracy talk, thence quickly to flat earth, chemtrails, etc., thence to either reptilian rulers or Atlanteanism and Ancient Alienism, thence to Holocaust denial and pro-Hitlerism, ending up as full-blown racism. That’s the trajectory.
All these are pathetic attempts to save “God” and “purpose” from oblivion, and at the back of conspiralunacy is Christian fundamentalism. Because the final “conspiracy” in the eyes of all of them is “to hide God from us” and make out that humans are not the centre of everything and deny that everything exists to serve us. That’s what “the Illuminati are about.”
Not surprising, since the very writers and thinkers conspiraloons hate most are the materialists and scientists of the past three centuries.The infinite universe could never be picked up by the God squad, because for them the universe has to be a created, finite thing. Only their God is infinite.
As to “simulation”, what a load of crap spawned by The Matrix crowd, who are conspiraloons.
Also, we need to stop calling the loons conspiracy “theorists. ” They are not theorists. They cannot sit at table with thinkers.
