Tales of dark conspiracies abound, but most people (myself included) do not lend them much credence. Nevertheless, in some cases it does seem as if there were a conspiracy. Now this got me thinking, and I realized that the actions of a multitude of individuals, even though they are not coordinating their actions with one another, can result in a situation where it is as if there were a conspiracy.
And these virtual conspiracies can be every bit as dark and dangerous as real conspiracies. Even more so, when you consider that there is no one in charge - they are something mindless that emerges from the chaos of normal human activity.
