Sherlock Holmes
The most celebrated conspiracy theorist in history.
Uses deductions to reach conclusions about complex situations.
A fictional character that has won the hearts and minds of generations, yet somehow, we are to assume that if he were a real person, we should denigrate and ignore him. After all, this is how we are told to treat CONSPIRACY THEORISTS.
His dictum, “when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be true,” has no place in the modern technological age. Now, everything is obvious, everyone knows everything, and everyone who adopts the institutional narrative is right.
It is fascinating how a fictional hero would become a universally loathed tin-foil hat-wearing troll if he were to magically become a real person.
This hypothetically profound juxtaposition does not seem to inform any of us of how FOOLISH we have become.
