I'm not sure if this counts as a conspiracy, but I wholeheartedly believe that aliens are real, but that we have no way of ever contacting them or confirming their existence because they're so damn far away

Not sure that even counts as a conspiracy.

[–] li10@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, surely it’s only a conspiracy if there’s proof of aliens that’s being hidden from people.

[–] lily33@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Indeed not a conspiracy. A conspiracy involves a crew of conspirators conspiring to do something illegal or unethical.

If it's just the laws of physics conspiring, it doesn't count.

That’s actually a reasonable thing to believe, not a conspiracy. Just something nobody knows yet.
