Complexity

Conspiracy theories arose with the development of societal complexity.Today, fewer and fewer people feel that they understand what is going on. Combined with the natural greed of people in roles of influence this leads, in a very straight line, to conspiracy theories.

Cleverly, this problem has been countered by the devaluation of conspiracy theories through the promotion of an over-supply of the buggers. This ensures that the odd conspiracy theory with legs does no harm.
