David Icke ?
15 Answers
I have just come across a video of David Icke on YouTube. To be honest I have forgotton all about him, after all that fuss when he appeared on Wogan years ago.
But he is still going !
He is plainly barking mad. Why do people believe in such errant nonsense ?

'He is plainly barking mad.' I think he would say it is "US" who are mad :)
Also just because people are interested does not mean they 'believe'.

I think tony has the answer ! "A fool and his money are soon parted"
But there is a more serious matter here. Lots of people across the world are attracted to charlatans like Icke. These aren't uneducated, just credulous.
Millions of Americans believe that the world was created 60,000 years ago, and that man run around chasing dinosaurs for their lunch. This is despite living in a country where everybody has been to school. They also have the Grand Canyon, one of the best examples of an eroded landscape that this planet has to offer.
So, what I am getting at is....how can these people leave their intellect behind them, when a simple perusal of the facts would show that some things just can't be true ?
Why are people so stupid !

Stupid as a life choice - this was described as early as the 300s BC by the philosopher Plato

I have spent a life time wondering why. There is no real answer.
It is belief and people like to belong to something other the the Human race with all the horrible things people do to one another.
These usually expensive 'escape' ideologies give an escape that helps them cope with life.
They have one thing is common desire for your money or possessions and that everybody else are doomed or just wrong. THEY are the few who have been Enlightened.

Naomi. Of course Icke is not a fool....he appears to be making a very good living from his daft rantings. But if he believes in his own nonsense, than how on earth can he be decribed as intelligent ?
Wouldn't an intelligent person have realised, long ago, that what he saying cannot possibly be true ?
