Basia is also inclined to believe in conspiracy theories – that someone up above controls everything to minute degree. She’s also inclined to see her life as an unfolding plan from above. She isn’t religious – she has an aversion to the church, the only religious alternative in today’s Poland – but this plan unfolding in her life is presumably not by The Illuminati or the Trilateral Commission, but by some mysterious magical spiritual (“higher”, she would say) power. One could say, therefore, that while she’s not religious, she is a believer.
Basia’s life is going well; in her case the desire to see secret agency in her life stems not from failure; but from a wiring problem. This is the kind of brain she inherited: she sees causality everywhere; she can’t believe in random effects at all. There isn’t much she can do about it. Or anyone. Argument simply does not work.
