Christopher Langan, a man who allegedly has an IQ of over 200, answers a question sent to him on the nature of the Illuminati:

Q: Chris, when you say “If there were no ‘Illuminati Conspiracy’, one would have to have been invented – and so it was,” are you implying that the globalists made it up?
A: No, I mean that whatever you choose to call it, there is a group of highly placed individuals…
(1) For whom such a “rule the world” conspiracy is individually and collectively rational;
(2) Who have the wealth and power to implement such a conspiracy (and in fact a longstanding monopoly on the creation of money); and
(3) Who are in a position to benefit immeasurably from such a conspiracy, Possessing the technology to enforce it and the ability to stop anyone else from bringing them to justice.
Therefore, it would have been decision-theoretically irrational for them not to have invented and pursued such a conspiracy, and it follows that this is exactly what they did.
As for the details of this conspiracy, many of those usually discussed – e.g., those involving Illuminati symbolism – are either irrelevant or open to debate. The point is that we are already presented with something that has too much improbable structure and political-economic momentum to be merely accidental, and thus that anyone who denies the generic existence of such a conspiracy is a deceiver and/or a fool who has no comprehension of the existing power structure, the meaning of rationality, or the definition of conspiracy (which explicitly includes the high level of secrecy ascribed to it by “conspiracy theorists”).
Remember, people who deny the existence of a rule-the-world conspiracy are basically saying that the elite, who were ruthlessly (if not globally) “rational” in their efforts to reach the tops of their respective heaps, suddenly forgot all about it for the sake of sheer kindness and morality once they became very rich and powerful. Basically, the idea is that members of the international oligarchy, having clawed, stolen, and murdered their way to a lofty elevation from which they could perceive an entire planet for the taking and the possibility of owning it all in perpetuity by cooperatively playing the cards already in their hands, suddenly decided in concert to sweep all the cards off the table onto the floor and generously distribute their towering piles of money to all of the losers out of their sheer goodness of heart.
Riiiight … why, *sure* they did! (And who’s being “rational” now?)
I won’t even go into the causal dynamics of such phenomena, which are interesting in their own right. Suffice it to say that there is far more to the rationality and conspiracy concepts than meets the untrained eye.
When you look at it rationally the way Langan has described above, it makes a lot of sense for there to exist some sort of organization, even a number of competing ones, that aim to rule over everyone in the world and extract all the resources for themselves.
The past several decades of history that I’ve bore witness to, at the very least, makes a lot more sense when viewed through this lens.
