Theory: they know. They know we’re in trouble, that we need to take action, that we can fix the problems. They know that they’re wrong and that they’re making things worse, but they don’t care about being right or making the word better, they only care about winning. To change is to admit defeat and, therefore, lose, so the only way to win is to make sure that your opponents lose too.
I think it’s even easier than that. Remember when you left your dirty dishes in the sink yesterday and thought that’s a problem for the tomorrow guy (or girl)? That’s them, on a global scale, all the time.
As someone debating if I should wash the dishes before I go to bed right now, this hurt. I am going to the kitchen and do it, but for this evening at least I am not going to like you. (joking, thank you, tomorrow me will thank you too!)
I think you are partially right and partially wrong. They don’t know for sure. They think it just doesn’t matter. They think that we adapt and change and nothing can take us down because we are divine. That nothing can ruin humans, we are too smart. We are too strong.
I do think there is something to adaptability. I do think abusing it is a horrible strategy. However I don’t know if they are being coy just to win. I think that they love conspiracies and buy into them because it feels good to be so special that someone is trying to trick us rather than the truth.
The truth is that we are all guessing based on the last generations guesses. Some guesses have gone long enough to become proof and acknowledging that is up to everyone. But some have decided that certain guesses aren’t as good as others.
Also, we adapt by dying and having smarter kids. The secret behind the supposed indestructibility of humanity that makes people confident in being dumb is that is something happens, the dumb people die more often then the smart ones.
Of course a shitload of people of every ilk dies, it’s just the survivors will be slightly overrepresented in smart people.
