Don't. It's not worth it, and there's really nothing special about it. Thanks a lot, Dan Brown..

The Illuminati concept wasn't created by Dan Brown, however he did make it popular. I personally don't believe in it but they are supposed to be a powerful group of individuals who are really in control of the world. New world order and such.

Long answer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminati
Short answer: Secret society that people use in conspiracy theories alot. They are said to control the world by controlling the government of all affluent nations from the shadows. |

It's basically that all of the great thinkers and scientists belonged to this group that secretly control the world. I know Dan Brown didn't create it, but the whole thing is a bit ridiculous. It's almost in the same line as Free Masons, except the Illuminati probably doesn't exist..

Here's a thought. If all these people are so great why would we complain about being ruled by them?
Also what's the address I feel like I should be sending in a membership application.

The illuminati exist (or existed) but the idea that they have anywhere near the power that conspiracy theorists say they do is ultimately ridiculously. |

Because, for some reason, people are scared of being led by capable people

Yeah it's a ridiculous notion. It's up there with reptilian conspiracy theorists on the crazy scale. |
