Empirialism

That which results in the building of an empire and the anagramic truth in the word "imperialism". Generally considered to be a self-defeating form of governance.
In the latter half of the twentieth century, The United States, after the destruction of its manufacturing base, began utilizing empirialism in order to secure the resources necessary to maintain their precarious and ill-fated position as world leader. Rome and Great Britain are other historical examples of the failed policy of empirialism.

Conspiracy Empiricists

One who propagates an idea or ideas that many important political events or economic and social trends are the products of deceptive plots that are largely unknown to the general public; via practical experience and experiments as a basis for such idea they are propagating.
Conspiracy empiricists often think just because a dominant theory is mostly sufficient for explaining most of a phenomena doesn't mean one shouldn't attempt to teak the theory via experiments to find more information.
