From Blaming to Conspiracies

Blaming usually doesn't fix anything, well aside from making those laying blame feel better.

This is especially the case when the original problem is the result of an incongruence between ideas and things. In other words, when it is the result of the map not lining up well with the terrain when the map is mistaken for the terrain. Here blame uses individuals as a scapegoats while protecting a system of thought and ideals that needs to be revised.

When the need for the revision of a system is continuously ignored, the blind spots that come with the system get larger. Larger blind spots that go unexamined lead to the need for more unfounded blame to be assigned, more scapegoating.

At a certain point, conspiracy theories become very attractive and useful. They create a whole system of power and collusion that try to blame, explain and scapegoat. All of this just to avoid an honest evaluation and revision of a certain system of thought and ideals.
