When the dark­ness obs­cures the light.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

I’m recy­cling yet ano­ther tag from last Mon­day. As you will notice, I don’t let any pass by. Not that I don’t like to take a wan­der through my libra­ry, but I still pre­fer to offer some diversity.

This tag amuses me. It part­ly echoes the Bill Nye tag, which shed some light on a deli­cate sub­ject. Of course, this one is just as impor­tant. I alrea­dy hear some people tel­ling me that the eth­nic cause is much more impor­tant and blah, blah, blah. Yet, was­ting their time trying to place their cause on a scale leads me to believe that they have no solu­tion to bring to the table. If only to give up on the inter­net and social net­works for the bene­fit of their fel­low citizens.

Conspi­ra­cy theo­ries are pro­ble­ma­tic in that a debate about conspi­ra­cy theo­ries has a strong chance of esca­la­ting the situa­tion. Howe­ver, iso­la­ting your fol­lo­wers is pro­ba­bly worse. So what to do? One of my col­leagues once sug­ges­ted taking the baby steps approach. One step at a time, one argu­ment at a time. Howe­ver, it should be a com­pel­ling argu­ment. It should ins­pire the per­son you’re spea­king with to have a strong reflec­tion demons­tra­ting your soli­di­ty and the fol­lo­wing equa­tion: Friend + Rejec­tion of the conspi­ra­cy = Accep­table. This could help, in the long run, to mode­rate your friend’s com­ments if you don’t have time for a long and pain­ful debate.
