Most conspiracy theories are myths of some type - usually explanatory myths. One of my favorites is Men in Black which is an updated version of some really, really old myths. Thanks Arherring,

This post is a perfect case in point. Frames of reference (the most powerful of which are tied to our culture) that cause us to think in particular ways are perfect fodder for 5GW thinking.
