I checked out snopes, which appears tome to be a reasonable rebuttal of the video. My children are going through a conspiracy theory stage, so I am already familiar with this video. I think there may be a great sense of empowerment in believing yourself to be in possession of secret, taboo “truths”. I also think the Post Modern trend to question whether there is objective truth, or whether it can be known, may result in lots of people believing that nothing is at seems, and also in their losing, or not believing in the usefulness of critical thinking skills. I think this may make people gullible and paranoid. And I think that is pretty much what is happening quite a bit now a days, with this video being an example.
