I love your middle school example (my mind drifts back to the fast-food-sneak-off-campus conspiracy I had going on with my friends until one day I ended up in the principles office after I looked suspicious hiding something in my jacket on the basketball court, after hours of me stubbornly holding out, I finally let them search me, only for them to find a half cold spicy bean burrito- I can still hear them laughing now, assuming I had pot) great post!

For after all, if even schoolchildren secretly associate, with some success, to further their own ends it is hardly shocking to suggest that adults, too, take advantage of organized, clandestine activity to enrich themselves at the expense of others.

That’s a great argument; the word ‘conspiracy’ induces a near-automatic rolling of the eyes in most people. But really, it’s such a natural human thing to do.

At any given time, one can assume I’m involved in 6-8 fairly sizable conspiracies.
