I don't think it's intellectual idiocy at fault here. I actually think it's emotional immaturity and incomplete theory of mind. When I was younger, conspiracy theories seemed quite plausible. Perhaps I was the only one who saw the truth, and perhaps everyone was aligned on keeping certain secrets. Now that I'm older, I realize people are people, and I'm not very different. Most of us are not good at keeping secrets, and all of us are pattern finding machines, seven when the pattern is not there. After assuming incompetence instead of massive and applying Occam's razor, the world all still makes sense. It's a simple duck that looks like an elaborately constructed rabbit.
