I think you are partially right and partially wrong. They don’t know for sure. They think it just doesn’t matter. They think that we adapt and change and nothing can take us down because we are divine. That nothing can ruin humans, we are too smart. We are too strong.
I do think there is something to adaptability. I do think abusing it is a horrible strategy. However I don’t know if they are being coy just to win. I think that they love conspiracies and buy into them because it feels good to be so special that someone is trying to trick us rather than the truth.
The truth is that we are all guessing based on the last generations guesses. Some guesses have gone long enough to become proof and acknowledging that is up to everyone. But some have decided that certain guesses aren’t as good as others.
Honestly for a lot of people its even dumber then thinking humanity is special and divine. They know shits going to get bad, people just can’t imagine things getting bad for them. Everyone thinks they are the main character of their own hero narrative and at worst shit hitting the fan means an adventure where they get to shoot people and get laid. It will be like a video game!
Also, we adapt by dying and having smarter kids. The secret behind the supposed indestructibility of humanity that makes people confident in being dumb is that is something happens, the dumb people die more often then the smart ones.
Of course a shitload of people of every ilk dies, it’s just the survivors will be slightly overrepresented in smart people.
