If we were being secretly controlled the world would be less of a shit show.

Unless they’re an even bigger shit show. Mobs of extortionists, networks in the tens of thousands, mostly bumbletard screwballs. A few elite who are as their gods.

Power is more easily developed by condemned men serving decades to life in prisons than smart successful savvy persons who live a prosperous life. They themselves are mostly pyramid schemes of extortion (these days, I am assured it was not always so.)

The things these do for fun and for profit cannot be paid for with money or be accomplished by anyone in their right minds.

You know how Americans and power are, always taking things too far, without regard for consequences.

Look at Animal domestication - see neoteny in domestic animals for eg - is a manipulative process too. People do use those techniques on each other and at mass scale via communication/advertising/marketing. Yet there are regulations and red lines and people regularly get throw in jail.
