My conspiracy theory: Bernie actually works for Donald Trump.

Round 2 ends in DalaiLama's favor.
Round 3.

My conspiracy: US anti-Global Warming sentiment is propped up by special interest groups. (Sorry it's not much of a conspiracy... it's hard coming up with these things.)

Russia is pushing for / creating global warming because there is so much frozen Russia they don't care if the valuable land in other countries flood or all the ice in Russia melts.

Round 3 ends in no one's favor.
Round 4.

My conspiracy: It was no accident Dick Cheney shot Harry Whittington with his shotgun when they went quail hunting together.

(Edit: I mean, how do you accidentally shoot someone in the face?)

you right bwam, mine was more of a fact that conspiracy, but for laughs I googled this:

http://www.youngcons.com/russian-president-vladimir-putin-claims-that-global-warming-is-a-fraud/

"Putin has been casting doubt on man-made global warming since the early 2000s, according to the Times. In 2003, Putin told an international climate conference warming would allow Russians to “spend less on fur coats,” adding that “agricultural specialists say our grain production will increase, and thank God for that.”"

Hm, didn't know Putin was a climate change denier. Not shocking, but definitely not inspiring.

^Discworld Lives!



Hmm, so that brings up some interesting thoughts on a new conspiracy -

that Dr Seuss was an Alien.

Here's the logic and irrefutable proof:




Dr Seuss wasn't writing children's stories, but rather cosomology primers for Earthlings - who were so primitive that he had to make sure the message was simple enough for us to grasp.

Exhibit A: Yertle the Turtle



It's no coincidence that the phrase "Turtles all the way down" didn't pop into the vernacular until the time Yertle the Turtle was published.

If you look above at the Discworld image - you will see four of Elephantine creatures between us and the First Turtle. Dr Seuss takes the time to tell primitive humans about this this unending series of worlds beneath our own, by introducing one of the four elephants - Horton.



In Horton Hears a Who - we begin to see that that a series of worlds may exist in dimensions that are too small for us to see.

Going back to Yertle the Turtle - Dr Seuss even gives us a primer on the origin of the universe. While human astronomers and cosmologists ascribe the origins to a "Big Bang", Dr Seuss playfully tells us we only have that idea partially correct.




"The Big Brag" is really the story about the Big Bang!, and how such a violent explosion came to be. The Lepus (rabbit) Empire went to war with the Ursine Empire (Bear) and while they were battling it out in the higher dimensional space time, the Draco Empire (Wyrm) took them both down with an explosion so big that you can look in any direction and see it curving around the universe.

This isn't the first time an alien race has tried to teach us this story.
The Norse mythos recalls the dominant snake in the form of Jörmungandr, and the rabbit trickster as Loki, the giant (big) bear was partially forgotten and remained in memory only as the giantess Angrboða.

Even such inane books such as One Fish, Two fish (Red Fish Blue Fish etc) are about cosmology and intergalactic ethics. The book isn't about fish, it's about combining the T'ai Chi - the yin and yang of everything with the infinity.





Dr Seuss is not only counting infinities and contrasting matter with energy and antimatter, but he is reminding us that things we think are rare and strange


are commonplace when you begin to look at the unending vastness of the universe. The undending stream of fish consciousness is a playful poke at Galileo's Paradox

and just another reminder from Dr Seuss that Earthlings should not assume our logic is not mutatis mutandis throughout the universe, and that we must see with our hearts as well as we see with our eyes and our minds.

Probably the most misunderstood of Dr Seuss works is "Green Eggs and Ham" which is once again a call for Earthlings toward civility and reconciliation. Dr Seuss is trying to tell us that the "knowledge" we so vigorously contest in heated debates is really just scratching the surface of what there is to know.

Before government censors got ahold of it - Green Eggs and Ham was really written from a skeptics viewpoint about reconciling the "Green" environmental movement (of which Dr Seuss strongly approved) and Science (Higgs) and Religion (Ham).

A few excerpts from the original:

.............


Green Higgs and Ham

I am Ham
Ken Ham I am

That Ham-I-am
That Ham-I-am!
Rich* does not like
that Ham-I-am




Do you like
Green, Higgs, and Ham?

I do not like this,
Ham-I-am.
I do not like
Green, Higgs or Ham.

Would you like them
Now and When?

I would not like them
Here or then.

Would you like them on an Ark?

I would not accept them on a lark.

Would you watch them both on Fox?

I would pelt them both with rocks.

Would you, could you at 125 Gigavolts?

I would not, could not put up with dolts

...........

and it goes on - so we'll skip ahead to the real ending, before government agents got ahold of it:

..............

Try them! Try Them!
And you may see,
Bertrand's Tea Time set for three

Ham!
If you will let me think,
The purple Kool-Aid I will drink.

Say!
I do like Green Higgs and Ham!

I would like them while afloat
the giant flood that history wrote

New thoughts collide inside my brain
like protons streaming in the rain

I can accept my fellow man
like gravity -each grain of sand

Thank you, thank you now and then!
Thank you, thank you She and Him.

.............
In short Dr Seuss = Aliens

Lastly, you may wonder,
yes you will,
How does the Cat in the Hat,
Fit this bill?

Schrödinger's Cat would be far too obvious a ploy - we can probably agree on that. Besides, Schrödinger's Cat doesn't wear a hat - or does he:

Schroedingers Hat

That is some fucking top-notch satire, dude.

I enjoyed every bit of that dalai.

Thank you very much man.

Peace,

-Boem-

Round 4 ends in DalaiLama's favor.
Round 5.

My conspiracy: Donald Trump is secretly backed by a cabal of powerful liberals who are playing with fire in an attempt to get Bernie Sanders in office.
