   No; instead, the fixed idea of a conspiracy against *you*, of “them”,   
   powers-that-be that control you and that you cannot control, makes you feel   
   important: it makes you a part of an imagined community of selected people   
   who "know", or even the only person who "knows", whereas the rest of the   
   populace remains "ignorant".   
      
   Sorry to break it to you, but you are *seriously* mentally ill.
