[ddj] Conspiracy Theories as network graphs

[Marko Plahuta]

> More scary than entertaining i must say. ?

Actually, I first intended to do this project in a more journalistic
way: process several conspiracy theories, like tens of them, filter
out all but the most important actors from them, then compare every
one of them against every other and find out which entities are
recurring.
Then it would be interesting to find psychological or sociological
explanations for the presence of these entities.

For example, US Air Force is present in almost all conspiracy theories
I read so far. It may be that US Air Force is most heavily funded and
probably one of most secretive organizations on the planet, but
there's also a psychological moment about something constantly being
above you, watching you relentlessly. Something that will not fail to
deliver a new surprise no matter what. In a way like a cargo cult.

Regards,

Marko
