Articulated Starfish: Chomsky and Conspiracy

There has been some recent discussion concerning the role of conspiracy theories and disinformation; in regard to this discussion in particular, 9/11, JFK, and a myriad of others, and the insight of one Noam Chomsky.

I've been trying to deviate from responding to other blogs posted by the fellow contributors of MercuryToona in open forum, as I believe this creates sentiments of inclusion that may turn potential readers away; however, this has stirred up some thoughts and remonstrance.

The problem that I see within the varying spheres of conspiracy theories and artifices, is that I believe it causes derisive divisions within the intellectual community by making frivolity worthy of academic merit, and hinders any inclination towards pursuing something that may suffice vindication.

I really, truly believe, without equivocation, that we will never conclusively know if there are or ever were underlying conspiracies surrounding the most grievous tragedies and scenes of our time. But I think it is absolutely abhorrent to trivialize the pains and sufferings of thousands of peoples to mere speculation and conspiracy. I believe that when we engage these adversities, we must seek out those foundations made of stone, not sand, if we are to find truth absolutely, and make restitution absolutely.
