Conspiracy theories are, by their definition, neither ultimately
refutable or acceptable. In order to hold true, they rely on the
acceptance that the full evidence is not reachable. They are based on a
shared belief: the idea that each one of us is an unaware piece in a
mysterious master plan. Crowdsourcing, instead, makes this more
transparent. Each user contributes to the creation of something which is
bigger than the sum of each singular production. The final plan remains
unknown, but it is actively produced by a large crowd. IOCOSE will
exploit crowdsourcing as a tool for the creation of a shared belief. The
“crowd” will assemble its own conspiracy which will involve them again,
at the end, as human beings. http://acrowdedapocalypse.com/
