Plots

Looking back into history and seeing how much kings and nobles plotted against each other, you may come to the question if it wasn't very much different then with what you call "conspiracy theory" these days? And, the other way round, is that what mankind knows and openly admits about the past a mirror of what current ongoings are like? If you knew the whole extent and not just the glimpses that reveal themselves?

It's true. You get the feeling that even back then the royal families knew you can't trust anyone.

I forget where I read it, but I saw recently somewhere that human beings both have a huge capacity to lie and huge capacity to be trusting. Weird. It's true! Facebook exists because people lie a ton, but still have this compulsion to trust others. It's like "look at me mommy!"
