there's a difference between effectively engaging with conspiracies in a meaningful sense and catastrophizing existence because it brings you meaning to imagine shady evil people doing evil shady things.
for example, actively working with uncovering industrial pollution by collecting data is effective, writing threads on reddit about hollyweird elites putting masonic symbols in commercials is a way to tickle your amygdala
the conspiratorial mind is the issue of a negating mind projecting. instead of thinking about how people want to hurt you or other people, think of what people are trying to do in order to become happy, safe and powerful. it might sound like same thing but your thinking will be more clear, true and productive if you're always looking for what affirms us
people doing industrial pollution aren't thinking about ways to hurt nature or how to inflict cancer on people, they're thinking about cutting costs
