Connecting the Dots
Humans are pattern-seeking machines. We see faces in clouds and conspiracies in coincidence. The Conspiracy Correlation Coefficient ($C^3$) measures how deep down the rabbit hole you are.
Occam's Razor vs. The Truth
- Occam's Razor: The simplest explanation is usually right. (The government is just incompetent, not evil).
- The Theorist's Butterknife: The most complex explanation is the most fun. (The government is run by Lizard People who feed on incompetence).
The Scale
- Level 1: "The government listens to my phone." (Proven Fact).
- Level 5: "JFK is alive and running a crypto scam in the Bahamas." (Unlikely).
- Level 10: "The Earth is hollow and holds a second sun." (Seek help).
