As a kid that grew up pretty isolated and spent a lot of time alone, I gravitated toward reading tales of the strange and Arthur C. Clarke and Issac Asimov et al. and developed an active imagination. The 10:00 AM Saturday morning "B" sci-fi movie was one of my standard go-to's with a lot of Godzilla and such and sometimes I still watch this old black & white sci-fi on YouTube so I've always had an interest in weird stuff, science and UFOs and the like. My parents were Star Trek fans when it came out and my mom thought Kirk was dashing and sexy. When Dr. Who came out on PBS, I watched every episode.
When I became more active on the internet, I started reading The Anomalist, Alter-net and about scalar electomagnetics like HAARP and thought it was all pretty fascinating and interesting but soon realized that fringe topics attract fringe thinkers and that a certain percentage of these folks were a few cards short of a full deck.
When the whole CARET drone thing took off, I started following the story which led me to ATS where i first joined ATS in 2007. I thought the investigation into the whole hoax was fascinating and I followed all 400+ pages of the thread about it.
I can't really say I believe in most conspiracy theories but they're entertaining to read and they do provide input on thinking critically outside the box and beyond perspectives found in the MSM. I find the kind of people that do believe and are fully vested in their conspiracies to be interesting from a psychological perspective. Most are a little weird but so am I!
