Truther Reasoning "Explained"

I'd like to try and explain the Truther approach to the process by which they conclude that the events of 9/11 were an "inside job". To do this, you need to picture a Rubik's Cube sitting before you.

Steps to Solving a Rubik's Cube:

(1) The six sides of the cube show a jumble of colored squares because it's been intentionally scrambled by your irksome sibling, father, co-worker - whoever. The important thing is that you want to make the cube's sides unified in color again much like they were when you first got it.

(2) Now, as you sit there looking at the colored squares, you wonder how you're going to reconstruct the colors so that the colored sides are once again obtained.

(3)(a) A puzzle solver will methodically work with the colored squares, turning and twisting them, until they arrive at a reproducible and workable solution where all sides reflect a different yet solid color. Now, this might take awhile but reflects a consistent and thorough approach toward solving the puzzle.

(3)(b) However, a more "inspired" person will pop out a corner square of any color, pull apart the cube's squares from its swiveling core, and rearrange the squares to ultimately reflect not the colored sides (necessarily) but more so the manufacturer's stamps on the inside of the squares.

Steps to Proving 9/11 Was an Inside Job:

(1) The jumble of colored squares could represent the aftermath of an al Qaeda-financed terrorist plot that resulted in the events witnessed by millions on 9/11. However, the irksome sibling is too simple an explanation for the observed and jumbled colors. Therefore, additional research is needed to see how this configuration was created.

(2) The colored squares represent the population of available evidence that should be analyzed and ultimately arranged so that (1) all six sides have a uniform color (i.e., the hypothesis that makes the most sense and is not unnecessarily complex) and (2) others can review your moves or analysis and arrive at the same or similar uniform color or hypothesis.

(3)(a) A puzzle solver (i.e., non-Truther) will methodically work with the colored squares to arrive at a reproducible and workable solution. The neat thing about solving the Rubik's Cube this way is that:

(i) the solver works within the constraints of the puzzle without the need to add an artificiality (e.g., deconstruction of the squares) to it (i.e., this reflects the acceptance and application of the scientific method to the available evidence); and

(ii) the solver can communicate their moves or process to another puzzle solver so that they may confirm or deny the validity of the solver's solution (i.e., this process uses the available evidence to suggest a solution without the need to include speculation).

(3)(b) An "inspired" person will look at the colored squares, conclude that they are so random there's no way an irksome sibling or manufacturer could have created the observed configuration (i.e., here is the initial spark of faith into something far more complex than just six colored surfaces). Another means of solving the puzzle, then, must exist because trying the puzzle solver's way doesn't address the cube's questionable configuration and takes far too long (i.e., intellectual laziness). By accepting these unsupported presumptions (i.e., the government lies to us constantly, 9/11 is no different), the following reasoning results:

(i) the inspired person thinks the colored squares are essentially a distraction because why should they conform to making all the sides a uniform color? That's what the manufacturer (i.e., government) wants them to do so that the inspired ones would not question the more important issue of why are the squares configured as observed (i.e., why take the government-issued soma when the truth is so tantilizingly close)?

(ii) the inspired person abandons the puzzle's constraints to probe deeper (i.e., enter the rabbit hole) and look at the Rubik's Cube swiveling core (i.e., six degrees of separation yet clearly linked through the cube's structure). The quickest way to the core is to pop out a corner square (i.e., The Truther starts to use speculation and conjecture to explain the squares' configuration, which only deepens as the rabbit hole is revealed and probed more fully), realizing that once one square is removed the cube begins to fall apart into many individual squares (i.e., now, the Truthers know they're on to something; otherwise, why would it fall apart so easily?).

(iii) the inspired person looks at the internal workings and begins to rearrange the cube using only the central squares because they all bear the same markings (i.e., the Truther searches out the "common thread" from not just the available evidence – the colored surface of the squares – but also its associated conjectures and six degrees of separation – the unseen sides of the square, central posts, and core).

(iv) the inspired person discards the corner and perimeter squares because they don't bear the same markings. In fact, they bear several markings - how odious to actually analyze them when the Truther already has the squares they want. Obviously, the manufacturer placed those squares into the cube to distract or misinform the inspired person as to how the "true" arrangement of the cube is set (i.e., COINTELPRO is working hard to confuse and distract those in the know).

(v) the inspired person then holds up their completed... polygon... of sorts that... kind of... is... falling apart and is held loosely together, looks over at the puzzle solver, and... scoffs! Clearly, the puzzle solver doesn't "get it" because they're either a total idiot who can't solve the "real" puzzle or they're a manufacturer's representative trying to dupe the "others" (i.e., sheeple) into believing that a Rubik's Cube has six sides with all of them colored differently (i.e., the Truther "knows" the truth now and can walk away and show his friends the loosely held... mass... and say proudly, "Here is the "real" Rubik's Cube!")

As I've written to Truthers in another post, "Get a life!" and solve the Rubik's Cube the way in which it was meant to be solved; no cheaters need enter here - http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite/diarypage.php?did=6837 .

Wow! Has it been that long since last posting at OEN - more than two years? Apparently so! I've been busy elsewhere (e.g., Disqus: http://disqus.com/C4H4AsH/ ), but certainly not as prolific as I was previously at OEN. Well, I think I'll (more...)
