Agreed. Most are very open and public about their activities and purpose. It seems like most conspiracy theories are just honeypots for institutions like the studiously benign "Behavioural Insights Team". The BBC (and other public broadcasters) are complicit in "manufacturing consent" for public policy, or other social goals. It's quite obvious to me that the average person has been woven a deliberate and simple (but critically wrong) model for reality, which complies with government goals.
