The Illuminati

[Love]

There are so many logical inconsistencies and contradictions with the idea of a nefarious, clandestine bureaucracy.

You are remarkably obstinate, which I find to be rather annoying. Have you opened the zip file, viewed the PDF documents, and viewed the Wikipedia link I sent to you? Or, are you simply dismissing it without viewing the materials?

Perhaps you could run those "logical inconsistencies and contradictions" past me, so that we can have an engaging philosophical discussion about it. It seems as though you are using inductive reasoning to come to your conclusions. Also, using the word "nefarious" is overstating the matter somewhat. Although many of the members do engage in profoundly evil behaviours, such as mind control, paedophilia and ritual sacrifice, it appears that they practice good deeds also. It seems as though they believe that there should be a balance between good and evil, and that this is the true path to "illumination".

But I suppose the real crux is that I don't care enough to care, and nobody else does either.

Naive apathy is, indeed, the predominant trend of the 21st century. Thankfully, not ALL people are as passive and dismissive as you.
