well, life is pointless (according to them).
Unfortunate for them and us because it doesn't seem to reflect the underlying reality at all.

I guess most conspiracy theories go a bit further than just "rich people work together to maximize their profits", they assume a superhuman capacity for these people to predict the future and understand how complex chains of events will play out to ultimately benefit them, I don't think they are capable of thinking that far. Many conspiracy theories don't even make sense as there is no clear beneficiary at the end.Collden, what you stated is a conspiracy. All you need is a couple people together to conspire for personal gain. That is the definition of conspiracy.
That's the ultimate conspiracy. It is very hard to fathom something like that can go on for years and years and yet it does...Money Creation In The Modern Economy ( Friendly Reminder )
Here's one Giant Conspiracy. It can be explained to you in under 1 minute.
Banks make money out of thin air either completely or partially ( via fractional reserve lending ) and then charge interest on this Principal that they created out of nothing. This has been going on since at least the 1700s on a large scale. That's how "they" have power. Honest people can not even fathom how something so fraudulent could be allowed to exist, so sometimes we dont even consider it unless it's shoved in our face.

Making plans and precisely predicting how those plans will play out in the real world are two different things.Really?
President Xi of China has talked about a "100 Year Plan" Opinion | China’s 100-year marathon to rule the world and reshape it
That's a single example of a rich and powerful person openly talking about a plan to last a century. Do you really think he is the only man in history to think this far ahead? Do you not think it's possible that others have planned even further ahead than that?

What's the problem? Money is just an accounting entity, why should it not be created as needed? I think the problem is that the state does not create enough money, so there is too much debt.Money Creation In The Modern Economy ( Friendly Reminder )

For some reason people have it in their heads that there is some elite group of people out there who come together and control the world. The Illuminati or whatever you want to call it.
I think this is just stupid and over complicated. The world can be much better explained when you apply occam's razor and look at individual human motivation.
All corruption and incompetence starts at an individual level.
Did some corrupt law just get passed? It's not because some elites got together and decided they want more control and power, it's more likely because this one congressman wanted a new pool in his backyard using that sweet lobbying money, or because this other congressman has invested in some business that stands to profit with this new law. None of them really thinking of some huge conspiratorial picture, they just wanted a new swimming pool or some quick cash.
Promotion of junk and crappy food because the Illuminati want the world's people sick and docile? No, its because this one guy really wants to have some side income so he invests into starting a Mcdonald's franchise. He doesn't care that humanity is becoming weaker, or the obesity rate is climbing. As long as he makes his $8-10K per month which let's him pay his mortgage and feed his family, he's happy. Then more and more individuals buy franchises cause they want the same thing.
Oh prescriptions must be some big pharmaceutical conspiracy designed to control the masses. Not really, its individual doctors and sales reps who just want to make their income. As long as this one scientist can develop something that kindof works, he gets his paycheck that lets him take a trip with his wife. Then if this sales rep can convince doctors to prescribe it, he gets his commission which lets him pay this month's car payments. Then if this doctor sees enough patients, he gets to buy that BMW he's been eyeing. Where's the CEO in all this? Probably some workaholic with a crazy ego who wants his multi million dollar bonus for hitting the revenue goals.
The point is, all this bull**** in the world can be explained by individual motivations, and for some 'elite' to rule the world and control everything is crazy complicated. The amount of work and time it would take to control everything that happens is insane. The world is so much bigger than you can imagine.
