Conspiracy theories used to make good movies. No-one thought you would need to believe it to like the story. Now, of course, movies involving a conspiracy theory are likely to be cancelled. Wonder why?

Is there a conspiracy to conspire against conspiracy?

I believe there is a conspiracy to conspire against conspiracy by making everything seem like a conspiracy so figuring out which one is a conspiracy or a conspiracy conspired by conspirators to draw attention from other conspiracies is nearly impossible. A complete overload of noise and guff to distract from the years-long state of exception.

Excellent, Mr. Wright! Your ‘disappearing up its own fundament’ argument neatly satirises the rubbish that passes for ‘news’ on social media.

Just remember, the go to message of damage control when you get caught doing something you shouldn’t or want something inconvenient to go away is to lie your ass off and pretend nothing happened.

OK – now I do not want anyone to think I am a nut – But, and this is really true….

Way back in the Remote Winter Forest, alone, camped far from other humans in tall Mountains, in the Full Moon, and the brilliant blue tree shadows on the dazzling snow – I heard Yetis singing.. I really heard them; they were close…….amazing… and when I leapt out of my sleeping bag to run to them the singing cut off like a light switch…. it was a very powerful moment….I should have just listened to them, but without any conscious thought I just found I was out of the sleeping bag and running through the snow in their direction…it was wild……

Hallucinations either just before sleep, or just as one is waking up can feel quite real. Not to say this was your situation, but this clinically validated fact would lead your readers to, at the very least, consider such an event as a possible explanation for your experience.

Personally, I find your story quite artistically charming. Whether it really happened, or not, you have my upvote.

Enchanting. Recognizably melodic? Which register predominated? Some many questions left unanswered. “…Till human voices wake us, and we drown.”

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Unfettered questioning is a hallmark of a healthy society.
