Here’s an excerpt from an article on the Mark Levin website, “Why people believe in conspiracy theories like ‘pizza gate’”
“You’re giving power to people who are feeling powerless,” said Bob Goldberg, a history professor at the University of Utah and director of its Tanner Humanities Center. “It’s an antidote to powerlessness because giving the responsibility, pointing the finger, targeting someone gives people a sense that they know what’s happening.”
“Conspiracy theories tend to spring from those two prominent desires — creating a feeling of control where it doesn’t exist and defining an enemy where it is absent or difficult to define.”
Please offer a rational, intelligent explanation as to why wealthy party hosts would need to know how many people to expect, so they could pre-cut a single slice of leftover pizza thinly enough to allow everyone to have a little.
I’ll wait.
While you’re thinking, bear this in mind. A single slice of pizza was all the party hosts had on hand. They said so. While you and Levin are busy sneering at this ‘conspiracy theory,’ explain why well-to-do people would throw a party yet provide only a single slice of pizza to be split between all the guests.
(Hint: even relatively poor people set out more for their parties/guests; if the only thing they had in the house wss one solitary slice of pizza, they wouldn’t throw a party.)
One last question. I’m sure you’ll knock it out of the park. Namely, how do you play dominoes on sauce, pasta and/or cheese? Wouldn’t the blocks get a little messy?
