r/AllConspiracyTheories

Been in the game for nearly 10 years. Getting hard to find something deeply engaging. Would be nice if anyone can suggest to me their favorite or most lowkey underrated, deep episode of anything. I’ve watched a lot of the popular ones so thinking about more fringe suggestions first would help the most. I started reading books. I’m on Behold a Pale Horse right now but lost a bit of enthusiasm after I found out he changed some of his viewpoints later on. Books can be suggested too. The more the better for all.

I also watched a lot of movies or shows with the engaging predictive programming or conspiracy themes; that can also be recommended.

Edit: I highly appreciate all the replies and recommendations so far, I really do!

I know, I know. Somerset’s the tired old cop who wants out, the moral center, the guy giving us the “world is bad but worth fighting for” ending. But the more I sit with this movie, the more the ending bugs me for a specific reason:
John Doe is way too controlled a person to leave the entire climax up to chance.
This is a guy who kept a man tied to a bed for a year to make a point about Sloth. He wrote thousands of journals. He planned murders years in advance down to the exact dinner course. And his entire final act depends on… Mills losing his temper at exactly the right moment?
For a guy that meticulous, that’s a huge gamble — unless he had inside information that Mills would absolutely snap. And who in this movie understands David Mills’s temper better than literally anyone else?
Somerset.
He spends the whole film reading Mills like a book — impulsive, prideful, quick to anger, the type who chases suspects into storm drains and throws punches he shouldn’t. Somerset clocks all of this immediately. Doe, on the other hand, has known Mills for what, a few weeks tops? How does he know Mills will break instead of just arresting him and holding it together?
And then there’s the stuff that’s always felt slightly off to me:
Somerset conveniently falls behind during the apartment chase when Doe escapes

Somerset is the one Tracy confides in about the pregnancy — not Mills

In the final desert scene, Somerset instantly puts together that Tracy’s dead, that she was pregnant, that Mills doesn’t know — and still mostly just pleads instead of physically stopping him

Somerset and Doe’s worldviews are basically identical (society is rotten, people don’t care) — Doe just acts on it and Somerset intellectualizes it

I’m not saying Somerset and Doe had a secret alliance (the film gives zero evidence of that). But there’s a version of this where Somerset isn’t just a passive observer of the ending — he’s someone who, on some level, understood exactly what was about to happen and didn’t stop it as hard as he could have. Maybe because part of him agreed with the lesson being taught.
Or, thematically: Doe is what Somerset could’ve become if his cynicism ever turned into action instead of dartboards and insomnia.
“I’ll be around” hits very differently under that reading.
Curious what people think:
Is the Wrath plan actually a hole in Doe’s logic, or is he just improvising in the moment (mailing the head, taunting Mills in the car)?

Is Somerset’s hesitation in the finale just age/exhaustion, or something more?

Does the Somerset/Doe parallel mean anything beyond “two responses to the same despair”?

Not trying to say the movie is secretly a conspiracy thriller — more interested in whether Somerset’s passivity is meant to implicate him a little. Tear it apart.

Last night I was trying to astral project. I turned on a Gateway Tape and found that I hit the "vibrational stage" rather intensely for the first time. But since the Gateway Tapes wake you up after 30 minutes I decided to listen to Pink noise for the night. Pink noise seemed to help to a similar degree as well.

I am curious as to whether I hit the regular "vibrational stage" or if I accidentally engaged in kundalini practices/ kundalini "energy".

I had a feeling of overwhelming joy (I mentally convinced myself that since I had already experienced AP before, hitting AP again would already be in the bag for me). I then started to feel my limbs fall into a numbness/ asleep feeling. I then started to have parts of me twitch/ convulse, (not in a spasm kind of way, but in a more random frequency).

Is this normal when it comes to AP/ hitting the vibrational stage or is this tied to Kundalini Energy?

1. I have a question for you all. I am wondering if anyone can relate to the feeling I'm having/ thought process I am going through.
2. There are two main theories I believe, one is the traditional "believe in god and your saved, it's cool bro you don't have to do anything" which even if your telling others about it, it's not like you are really advancing yourself after you get to the point where you are pretty good with not breaking the 10 commandments every other day.
3. But on the second hand, there is spirituality which is separate from religion (not the new age drug/ demonic sorcerer kind) and it encourages actually growing and reflecting more.
4. The summary of what I'm getting at is the first one opposes meditation but the issue with that is it makes sense when it comes to not opening someone's soul/mind up to demonic entities, but it's like on the other hand, it kind of allows for a skewed message to be ear fucked into someone's ear by media and feel good words and with it being like "yeah bro DONT reflect on what we just said and IGNORE the off feeling of it because that's a form of meditation bro" just sound so sus to me.
