The Illuminati

Kanye West released his Power MV last summer.

As is popular nowadays, people immediately associated the occult "symbolism" present in the video with the Illuminati.

Conspiracy theorists are having a hoot over this fad, even relating it to the most unsuspecting figures (e.g. Justin Bieber).

But why are people so fascinated with the Illuminati and the New World Order? Why are seemingly innocent subjects being associated with such fearful feats of the unknown? I think it may be because life is mundane as it is. The world around the average human works at an orderly pace. The subsequent chain of cause and effect is so routine for us that we never stop to question things that may really be out of the ordinary.

That's where conspiracy theories come in. We know why The Occult is so beyond our reality that we like to delve deeper than necessary into things in order to find a meaning that isn't really there. We want to immerse ourselves in a new reality where we really have no free will, and things can happen that are out of our control.

Now, I personally know nothing about such things nor do I do any research on it. But even if I imagine such conspiracies to be a nice break from my day to day life.
To believe that things aren't really as they seem.
