16. You have to be careful around conspiracy theories

They do happen. But once you start down that path you can become embroiled in a completely imaginary world.

Two rules of thumb concerning conspiracy theories:

The larger the conspiracy the more likely it is to fall apart. It becomes a security nightmare keeping everything in line in a large group.

The longer a conspiracy lasts the more likely it is to fall apart. Again this is a matter of security. People change. They may no longer see things the way they did when they entered the conspiracy.

Time and size are against them.
