| Technically a '''Conspiracy''' is a plan made by a group of individuals to achieve some goal in secret, more likely than not at least somewhat nefarious in nature. For our purposes, it also refers to a set of fiction and modern mythology based around various alleged conspiracies and fiction which is derived there-of. From Area 51 and the Philidephia Experiment to Nazi Moon bases and reptilians from the hollow earth.

Sometimes you get people which end up falling down the rabbit hole into a dream world of aliens and shadowy cabals in which anyone who tries to talk them out of it.

| This is not to say that there are not people in power which try to pull shady shit. It does happen, but (among other things) they have a distinct diseconomy of scale. The larger the conspiracy the more points of failure and the greater the risk of exposure. Your typical conspiracy is not a secret society with a thousand year plan to dominate the earth, but more to the effect of some corporate types and their 'fixers' or some government agency doing something to make off with money
