Memories of the 28th Century

I was thinking about conspiracies, propaganda, and who or what would be engaging in them. Conspiracy theory lovers often mention the Illuminati and the New World Order, but both are very much in the Classical Liberal tradition and wouldn’t deliberately lie. The Bilderberg Conference is cited as a planning forum for various nefarious schemes, but the actual facts belie that. The Rothschild family is mentioned, but they only go for the money, and harming potential customers is bad for business. Then there are the lizard-like aliens; they are a possibility. If they are planning to take over the Earth as a colony world after it has been wiped clean of humans, then they haven’t been doing their jobs, but they are still the logical choices, because they fill so many of the roles of chief conspirators, and it would make sense for them to have a base on Mars, while we know that no human country is capable of setting up a base there.

In addition to the common list of conspiracies, the lizard-like aliens could also be responsible for a few more subtle ones that would also lead to their goal of clearing the Earth for colonialization; those include many of the medical and nutritional lies that have been created in the last few decades. If I wanted to clear a planet, then I would try to decrease the rate of reproduction. A dandy way to decrease reproduction is to decrease the sexual drives of both women and men. Thirty or forty years ago the medical establishment came out with the pronouncement that high serum cholesterol levels led to heart disease. It turns out that that is not true, but cholesterol is a precursor to testosterone and to some female hormones, so a lack of cholesterol leads to decreased sex drives and less success at becoming pregnant. At the same time those same people were pointing at saturated fats, such as animal fats as leading to higher cholesterol without bothering to mention that the same fats are essential for building and keeping up brain and nerve cells, so people's brains became undernourished, and they had trouble thinking well.

A related development was the introduction of soy beans and derived products such as tofu. Soy beans and soy derivatives contain phytoestrogens, molecules that are analogs of estrogen and function the same in humans. While the amount of phytoestrogen in soy is not large, it is enough to interfere with the reproductive cycles of some women (see links), and it can work counter to testosterone in males; thus lowering the sex drive and potentially lowering the amount of viable sperm. The experimental results in regard to long term ingestion of phytoestrogens on male reproductive systems are non-existent. There are experimental results for short term ingestion, but there is no sign of investigation of the results of many years of consuming phytoestrogens on men. On the other hand, there are results that indicate that some of the metabolic byproducts of soy phytoestrogens in women may be positive, inhibiting the development of uterine tumors, but these also concentrated on short term consumption.

Environmental phytoestrogens have horrible effects on some species, resulting in major deformities, and we should keep that data in mind. Nothing like that has been seen in humans; although replacing actual mammalian milk with soy preparations for infants may result in slower development of brain and nerve tissues, because "soy milk" does not contain the fats and proteins that make up nerve tissue.

The identity of the conspirators still requires investigation. I mentioned the lizard-like aliens, but may be some other entities that wish to interfere with human development, and misguided humans are among those, and they are quite high on the list. People do a great deal of ill in the mistaken belief that they are doing good. For example, organized religion has traditionally done much ill in the name of some god, and that sort of behavior is continuing. Wouldn't it be better to get rid of other religions by killing off their adherents with poor nutrition than to make war? More traditional conspirators would not be interested in wiping out most of humanity, because humans alive can be used as a labor source.

There are two other possibilities; one is that the push to get people to stop eating animal fats was the result of poor logic on the part of human researchers who were not up to the job of data analysis. Those people may have thought that since arteriosclerosis plaque is composed of cholesterol, high serum cholesterol levels must cause the plaques, but that thinking is illogical and the conclusion is not accurate.

Another possibility is that the conspirators are time travellers from the future. Someone claims to have demonstrated that there are no time travellers from the future, but the method was to search the internet for certain terms that the researcher thought time traveller would use. The researcher got null results, but there are several reasons why that could be the case and there still would be time travellers. The time travelers already knew about the search program and simply avoided those terms, or the time travellers might not use the internet for communications.
