One of the main problems I have with Conspiracy Theorsists is that they don't see the irony of their behaviour. They are trying to replace, in the mind of those they refer to as blind or ignorant, what they consider to be one enforced set of beliefs with their own enforced set of beliefs. It is ignorance and arrogance in the extreme yet they seem too wrapped up in their alternative view of the world to realise this. I personally think that deep down they don't really believe all this nonsense but by relaying these theories to others they are somehow compensating for some rather large inadequecies and gaps in their social skills, not to mention their education.
By convincing themselves that the world is out of their control they can absolve themselves of life's responsibilities and to reinforce this they accuse others of being blind.
For example, The Olympics. Because CT's have never really tested themselves in the real world they try to convince their subconscious that no ordinary group of people could organise such a grand event. It is far more satisfying for their low self esteem to believe a super secret society of all powerful beings are behind the event.
If one can pursuade others what they do is research and that the ideas they have read are somehow legitimate it makes them feel fulfilled. If they can convince people that they have understood the supposed conventional world view but have rejected it they can relieve themselves of the responsibility of actually having to truly understand complex world systems, something they are not wholly capable of doing, or rather they are capable but have such low self esteem they don't believe they are. In short, conspiracy theorists try to convince people they believe this stuff to cover up the gaping holes in their lives.
This, of course, is all theory.
Great post and spot on.
Having been there a couple of times I can confirm that there is no reason why the lights could not have been fitted under the roof.
Anyway people can argue about this for ever, none of us actually know. Just lot's of coincidences coming together that's all.
You all need to watch this...it might help on the lighting issue (from 25th minute)
