    The How Stuff Works Videos

    Some of you will have seen these before, they do raise a number of interesting points (in a conspiracy style presentation)

    "Scientists have noticed that patients may experience improvements just from thinking they've had medicine, even if that medicine is fake. But why does the placebo effect work, and why do some researchers believe it's growing stronger?"

    The Placebo Effect

    "When users take DMT they experience vivid hallucinations. Some users even believe they have communicated with nonhuman creatures while on DMT -- but why?"

    What's the Deal with DMT?

    "Communities across the US add fluoride to the water supply. Mainstream experts believe it prevents tooth decay, but conspiracy theorists think there's something sinister afoot."

    Fluoridation?


    "When impoverished inventor Nikola Tesla died in New York City, the U.S. government confiscated his notes. Why? Were they trying to steal his technology? Did they ever relinquish the notes? "

    Nikola Tesla

    Parasites

    Many science-fiction stories focus on the idea of possession -- the concept of some alien force dominating otherwise normal people and forcing them to behave in strange ways. Could any of these stories be based in fact?

          The Illuminati: Part 2

          While mainstream historians agree that the Bavarian Illuminati was founded by Adam Weishaupt in the 18th century, conspiracy theorists think the group is much older.

            The Illuminati: Part 3

            While skeptics believe the Illuminati disbanded in the 18th century, conspiracy theorists think the organization still exists -- and has nearly accomplished its ancient goals. But what are these goals?

              Probability

              Scientists at the PEAR laboratories noticed something odd during their work with coincidence: Some humans seemed to influence random numbers with nothing but their thoughts. Could this be pseudoscience, or a scientific breakthrough?

                Vatican's Archives

                For decades before the publication of Dan Brown's novels, conspiracy theorists were convinced that the Catholic Church held numerous Earth-shaking revelations within its secret archives. But what's really in there?

                      Albert Pike

                      Mystic, Mason and alleged prophet, Albert Pike stands as one of the most unusual and fascinating personalities from the Civil War era. But who was he, exactly? Did he really predict three world wars?

                              Numerology

                              Do numbers have some sort of intangible, mystical properties? What exactly is numerology, and why do people put so much stock in it, even today?

                                        I'm sure these weren't created for fun, they were no doubt created for profit; more profit that most of us make.

                                                This video works as a ridiculous parody. Anyone taking this seriously should get their head examined.

                                                katy Perry is a fucking idiot. She's part of a grand conspiracy to????? Make people feel good with her beats which are timed for her by men in bunkers who twirl their mustaches?

                                                When these idiots reference a Jay Z interview by a Hot 97 DJ named Angie Martinez, they're not helping their point. That's a real think thank right there.
