Noel Gallagher of Oasis fame once was asked in a filmed interview, whether he would be interested in watching a documentary called "Soaked in Bleach", and he asked whether the documentary was "conspiracy stuff".
It's a documentary which deals with the final days of Kurt Cobain's life, including his death, with most of it based on tape recordings made by a private investigator hired by Courtney Love, Kurt's wife, to find her husband (who was clearly avoiding her) after he had gone missing for a short period of time after leaving a detox centre in Los Angeles for heroin addiction.
When Noel was told the film was "conspiracy stuff", Noel said he hated conspiracy stuff and that was that.
For a guy who seems quite intelligent, that is a strange thing to say, considering his interest in Kurt and appreciation of his music, and how common conspiracies are in this world and how important historical events can only be understood through the conspiratorial lens.
It showed a lack of curiosity on Noel's part that I find unusual, considering Noel seems like someone who values knowledge, particularly about musicians he admires, like the Beatles and Nirvana, for example.
But there you go. Was Noel one of those people brainwashed to think conspiracy = nonsense, which is a very childish notion and which helps keep the lid on subjects where the truth being widely shared and understood may not only advance justice in the world, it would bring forward the understanding of the human race of what forces are at play in the world. Which is absolutely essential if we are to progress as race.
If that's not interesting, then I don't know what is. Maybe just some banal nonsense on the TV or in a newspaper, that he perhaps reads, often designed to manipulate the viewer's emotions and to mislead them.
But that's life. Some people like to wear blinders and put limits on their search for truth. As a result, they often end up far less knowledgeable than they could be and far more easy to mislead, due to an intentional lack of understanding of how the world really works, behind the illusions designed to fool us.
