Ah you essentially answered my question about summarizing his views.
It's quite scary that what seems like a conspiracy club lite is getting such a huge amount respect from the highly educated HN audience.
It seems the near future is converging to a bunch of conspiracy theorists duking it out with each other in front of the captive audience -- the general electorate.
Maybe it will make things easier for everyone involved if some conspirators actually do take over the world, thus making this spectacle slightly less surreal.
