This is precisely what nostr:npub1qfkcklnmes45z75y7y8dkud5yll8vp5eq5ysk9rmgqdxeasv8unsrfj6kq's post is really about. It speaks of our fears in modern society. An Amish-y lifestyle is seen as a way to take back control into a familiar, **knowable** local sphere, back from an unknowable, definitely out of our control "greater world."

The popularization of conspiracy theories, I'd argue, follows a similar psychological pattern.
