Honestly, I think it is Divine Intervention.

"God works in mysterious ways" is an understatement. I believe God has a sense of humor as well.

I'm convinced that all the poison they have been pumping into us these years had an unintended side-effect called Autism.

At first they concluded Autism was a net negative.

Instead, it opened a few of us up to a strategically important form of apathy in the feelings and considerations of others (Asperger's Syndrome), a heightened level of awareness (Sensory Processing Disorder), and an irresistible level of attention to detail (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder).

All these can be distilled into a power-house formula for data comprehension and the resilience to not be swooned to follow the narrative by their methods of playing on the need for approval, peer pressure, gullible naiveté, and self-destructive levels of empathy (enabling).

Autists tend to accept nothing but that which is empirical. If something cannot be proven to be true, then it must be false. If it is neither, then our obsessive-compulsive nature will basically force us to drive the empirical truck through the gates of hell and beyond until we find whether it is true or false.

Further hone these components of the disorder with video games (which they also stupidly introduced as a distraction) that prioritize strategy, min-maxing, finding exploits, and thinking outside the box and you have crafted the most dangerously intelligent internet-soldier that money can't buy.

In other words, they made their own worst enemy by "gimping" us. I believe that God instructed the right people on how to use this force to overthrow the Cabal, and the whole thing wraps up poetically in that the monster the mad-scientists made was the key to their own destruction.

The irony is, in the end, all we ever wanted was to be left alone to our own devices.
