Conspiracies and conspiracy theories are two very different things. The reason people scoff at conspiracy theories is because they are often times wrong and/or vague. How many *verified conspiracies actually started as a 'conspiracy theory'.
Edit: * added for clarification
The more I learn about the Frank Herbert novels, the more I realize how prescient and relevant they are to this day.
I think I get what the message is trying to convey but fucking hell! It's OK to feel good in spite of the world being unjust and cruel. It's a sign of your resilience. It's also OK to feel deeply depressed about it. It's a sign of your awareness and compassion. The only thing you shouldn't be proud of is if you feel good because the world is unjust and cruel.
