It seems many bitcoiners do, which surprises me. I would have expected more suspicion for fiat world narratives. 9/11 was actually my blackpill moment. I was glued to the news that morning. I remember clearly the news updates on flight 93. They were interviewing folks from the ground reporting how they had heard planes flying overhead, and a large explosion in the sky. They also showed scenes of parts wreckage strewn over large areas of ground. Bits of engine here, plane parts over there. Then at some point they pivoted to show a burnt area of ground, again no crash wreckage. A while later they started reporting that a plane had crashed into the ground, and at first I had thought they were referring to another plane. After they stopped reporting about the explosion in the sky, and no longer showed the burnt ground, I realized that they were actually talking about the same plane and had switched stories. I justified it at the time by thinking that Cheney had claimed he had the power to order planes to be shot down, and they did, but changed the story when they discovered the phone calls about the passengers going to attempt to storm the cockpit. Why explain about shooting down the plane when you can make heroes of the passengers? Then I started realizing that pretty much everything they told us was not true. Opened my eyes.
