We need conspiracy theories, they're part of human nature. We need answers, we need to make sense of things, we need to cope. But assumptions are the discriminating factor here. Our level of comprehension is strictly tied to our ability to keep an open mind and learn new things that might be in contrast with what we previously assumed to be true. Also, what is reality? Humanity is at the very beginning at connecting and communicating, and the future looks scary, and mysterious but then, in the end, we don't know anything at all.
