"the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom -- Lucifer.” You're going to come with Religious references? Really? After God sent his Son to preach tolerance and forgiveness, which you completely oppose, and you want to go with Religious references to prove your point of view? You sure about that?
What? That was Saul's reference, not mine.
The only conspiracies that concern me are the ones I am completely unaware of. By the time I find out about it, its probably a done deal. Nothing in the entire universe is more useless than morality without authority. A morality free of hypocrisy is no morality at all.

Allow me to elaborate[^] on your madness.
Indicators of Delusion:
- The patient expresses an idea or belief with unusual persistence or force.
- That idea appears to exert an undue influence on his or her life, and the way of
life is often altered to an inexplicable extent. - Despite his profound conviction, there is often a quality of secretiveness or
suspicion when the patient is questioned about it. - The individual tends to be humorless and oversensitive, especially about the belief.
- There is a quality of centrality: no matter how unlikely it is that these strange
things are happening to him, the patient accepts them relatively unquestioningly. - An attempt to contradict the belief is likely to arouse an inappropriately strong
emotional reaction, often with irritability and hostility. - The belief is, at the least, unlikely.
- The patient is emotionally over-invested in the idea and it overwhelms other
elements of his psyche (psychology). - The delusion, if acted out, often leads to behaviors which are abnormal and/or out
of character, although perhaps understandable in the light of the delusional beliefs. - Individuals who know the patient will observe that his belief and behavior are
uncharacteristic and alien.
Features:
- It is a primary disorder.
- It is a stable disorder characterized by the presence of delusions to which the
patient clings with extraordinary tenacity. - The illness is chronic and frequently lifelong.
- The delusions are logically constructed and internally consistent.
- The delusions do not interfere with general logical reasoning (although within the
delusional system the logic is perverted) and there is usually no general disturbance
of behavior. If disturbed behavior does occur, it is directly related to the delusional
beliefs. - The individual experiences a heightened sense of self-reference. Events which, to
others, are nonsignificant are of enormous significance to him or her, and the
atmosphere surrounding the delusions is highly charged.
Types:
Persecutory Type: delusion that the person (or someone to whom the person is close) is
being malevolently treated in some way.Yup...That's you alright.

Not really. I let Zepellin and company rant their blasphemy all over the soap box and only occassionly step in and attempt to educate them with reasonable restraint. I haven't condemned anyone to eternal torment in ohh, ages and ages. Even your dangerous crazy neo-politics makes me laugh. 7. True of every belief from the point of view of every unbeliever in anything.

Hmm, behaves according to beliefs, nice, you wouldn't expect any sane person to do that now would you? 10. You don't know me from Adam and those that do are well aware how characteristic and down to earth my beliefs and behaviours are. No. Your amateur diagnosis is about as flawed as your politics, a delusion fed to you by, you can't quite remember who, which you cling to with irrational vehemence, resorting to personal attack whenever the illogicality of your position is exposed.

Delightful. I'm so looking forward to your explanation of how to achieve 'complete control of the media' without a conspiracy
Leftists are simply, for whatever reason (perhaps because it's one of Marx's commandments), natural drawn to media outlets. To confirm that statement, all you have to do is pick up the local (community) paper in whatever town you're in. It's inevitably filled with pierced chubby chicks ranting about how the establishment is responsible for them not being pretty. Your madness stems from your insistence that the world follow a particular order. That probably stems from some sort of innate insecurity and the psychological need for the randomness and chaos in the world to be reduced to something simpler. Left-wing political congruity among media outlets is no more surprising than right-wing political congruity among Christians and neither requires a secret shrouded group chanting around a round table in a dark dungeon.

Well that depends. Is he talking about "conspiracy to commit murder" (which is common) or is he talking about your conspiracies (e.g. the illuminati)? If he was referring to the former, then he's sensible. If he's referring to the latter, then he would be a crazy son of a b**tch.

It can be argued "that kind of thing" is a facet of the human condition itself. Our brain learns by assuming that everything has meaning (for example: what you hear coming out of your parents mouth is assumed to not be random background noise. So the brain learns what it means). With a neuropsychology so predicated on the notion that nothing is random, it becomes easy to see how we'd look for meaning where there isn't necessarily any. And build whole systems of belief around it.

There is most certainly an innate requirement for religion. That's why even atheists, who condemn organized religion, tend to follow a religious approach to atheism.

Sure, I know that. I just found it funny how you used that idea as ammunition against leftists when it's basically the reason Christianity was created. Speaking of that, if you're interested at all in the origins of your religion, there's a nice book by Peter Watson called "Ideas: a history from fire to freud". He discusses all the latest biblical scholarship and archaeology. He devotes an entire chapter to the foundations of your religion and how it arose. I found it quite interesting and he's impartial about it all.

Oh, I'm sure it's part of the human condition. That's what religion and science are all about - trying to understand the world but using two very different approaches. But "random" is hard to define. My business is randomness and I still don't have a good definition of what it is...

True.. poor choice of words. It'd be more accurately stated as "With a neuropsychology so predicated on the notion that there's meaning behind everything we see and everything that happens". It's the brain's default position. Even things we ignore throughout the day, the brain had to learn to ignore at some point. The default is to pay attention to EVERYTHING.

Atheists also crave ideological structure, expansion of their belief system and adherence requirements. It's called secular humanism.

"Professionally" (note the quotes). Bond trading is probably as "simple" as it gets, but it can still be anything but "simple". But on a positive note, I recently found what I believe to be a flaw in a certain major information service's yield to maturity calculations.

Not uncommon. Take advantage of it - probably won't last long. I find flaws like that all the time - especially in option pricing. Please realize that most trading desks are staffed by twits. Rule #1: most money in the market is made by capitalizing on the mistakes of people dumber than you. Thought what goes on behind the golden doors of major banks was more interesting than that? Nope.
