Yes most people believing in all sorts of weird conspiracies are not very smart. And most conspiracies are completely idiotic. What i try to point out is that the "wholesale dismissal" of conspiracies are naive. Especially after the revelations of the last 10 years.

Your strawman "small amount people in controlling the world" argument is just annoying. Conspiracies comes in many forms. The illuminati type conspiracies are not interesting. What is interesting is the global industrial complexes, their web of PR companies and the political cover ups it entails. And countless examples of this exists already. Lets forget about aliens.
