I am talking about scientific conspiracies....

MRNA - for example - could be an effective plan to reduce the population quite effectively, by making sure that every year, there is 10% of 20-30 years old excess death... (real numbers so far across 2022 and 2023)

They aren't saying "don't talk about scientific conspiracies" and are instead saying "don't talk about conspiracies as though something being scientifically plausible means it is automatically worth discussing as a possibility."

Also, apply Hanlon's Razor(1) to this. Is it more likely that people made a stupid choice and gambled that everything would be fine? Or is it more likely that they completely understood what they were choosing and decided to implement a grand conspiracy which continued after they were no longer in power?

Interesting though!

I would gladly attribute it to stupidity if I logically could.

However - it takes quite some skills to get at the top of the food chain - I wouldn't classify physical attributes - like being a dumb athlete, good at running marathons while wearing corporate outfits - as a requirement - to fill- up those leadership roles.

Actuality quite the opposite - I would guess that someone - to get to that positions - has to demonstrate a tremendous tenacity and cunning capabilities - so they can convince they are better, stronger and more capable to take decisions - while not holding a basic degree (or even experience) in the area they are designated to lead.

Mostly exception - where you would see a minister of transport - having any experience on how to change a Tyre, a minister of health - being in good health - with at least 3 doctorates in medicine, psychology and philosophy.... Those exception are so little - that it is fair to say that it is pure con skills that get those people in position of power.
