That's not how Occam's razor works. Following your application of it, the towers just did that. Even fewer assumptions.
Your argument is nearing circular logic. Either a conspiracy is proven untrue due to its many leaks and mistakes, like the ones I've mentioned - "Do you really think they would make such simple mistakes if they were planning this?'; or it is proven untrue by its lack of leaks and mistakes - "do you really think they could do this and not have someone talk?"
You don't need everyone to be in on it. You need a tight circle capable of manipulating the strings. There will be an outer circle with a somewhat understanding of some parts of the machine and then a bunch of moving parts with no understanding - flight control officer's who had their first day on the job, army officers running the air-drill that day and so on.
Look at Epstein. Look at how many was involved, look at how little slipped out until recently. Look at how what slipped out was treated in popular culture.
The fact is we don't know what happened that day, we don't have the full picture. But with the details we do have available it is clear that the official story is, at the very best, woefully incomplete. Acting as if this was just an everyday possible accident is like falling for the "a security service guy accidentally shot Kennedy" story. It's put out there to make you feel clever for "figuring it out" while not challenging the status quo. Any deeper look makes it obvious that that isn't an explanation at all
That's the logic you're going off of. You don't know what happened, but there's a bigger picture that must have happened. Any little detail of anything that happened on that day can be free-associated to prove that the bigger picture must exist. Epstein could certainly be described in that grand conspiratorial way, but there's a solid paper trail proving a specific timeline. The public knew who he was for over two decades, he was just a protected open secret because he served a purpose for powerful people. That's no more surprising than Harvey Weinstein and Diddy having full careers.
There is no Jmail equivalent for any of the 9/11 conspiracies, including the "official story". There is no single Epstein email equivalent that shows two henchmen or planners saying "I would like to do terrorism today is now a good time Sent from My iPad" like you can actually point to with Epstein. Such a vast conspiracy would have a vast paper trail coordinating it.
My argument isn't circular at all. It's just materialist. I can point to planes crashing on that day, so the towers clearly didn't "just do that" (reductio ad absurdum). I can point to planes crashing on other days too and don't make assumptions. I wait until the NTSB releases their report before I distinguish between pilot error or mechanical failures, let alone assume that it was some kind of action movie plot. Most people made up their mind that day to suit their own needs. I just look at the facts that would hold up to casual or court room dissection. Planes crash sometimes but flying is still safer than driving.
No, that's the conclusion I came to after looking into the whole thing. Stop condesending those you disagree with and have the assumption that they have the same basic sapience that you do.
There is now. There wasn't when the accusations were first made. There was an arrest and some leaked flight logs.
"The torture video was awesome btw"
I'm not gonna engage with the rest of your text because it's full of the same paternalising condescension. You fling out critique, yet fail to observe yourself.
If you're this emotional about 9/11, maybe that's why you need to retreat into conspiracy theories to explain it?
> Be condescending towards someone
> They react negatively
> "Why are you being so emotional?"
You're defaulting to "lmao triggered" like some random dipshit redditor
I don't like the way you post. You're trying to be smart and clever but coming off as belligerent and annoying.
