Way I see it, you have two competing overarching theories, “spontaneous order” and “orchestrated order”.
You’re assuming that there is order and working backwards.
Sometimes people try to explain the formation of these theories in terms of fulfillment of an emotional need (“they can’t accept this would just happen so they need to pretend someone is in control”), which is just inaccurate.
You didn’t explain how that was inaccurate. You just said they were using a “mental model”. Why are they using that mental model, though? It’s because they need somebody to be in control.
This has actually been studied. Sociologists have studied conspiracy theorists, and they are often people with control issues.
This is the straw man:

I’d say that depends. Mkultra and Gulf of Tonkin absolutely happened. Pnac/project 2025 have likely been planned since Nixon or before.
I like how you responded almost 3 months later and the content of your response has nothing to do with what I said.
