Seriously these people must have really sad lives with nothing better to do

So I know a guy, and I guarantee you he is a 100% Qtard. The thing is that even well before Q like any conversation with him was ~90% about conspiracy theories. So like it doesn't matter what the next conspiracy theory is, he jumps on it. Like 14 years ago he was on something about the Egyptians leaving clues and the reason we went to Iraq was to secure some secret artifacts that contain instructions for anti-gravity devices. He would move from something like that to our local police secretly working for the mafia to run a chop shop.

His situation though is basically just that his parents just pretty much gave him everything but didn't pay much attention to him, like they were super busy, but had tons of money. So he like naturally rejected them and went off and made his own life, but couldn't ever achieve anywhere near the level he could just living off of his parents. So after 5 or 6 years of being on his own he just slowly began to reorient his life around them, move back to their city, start working for his dad, let them buy him a house etc.

So he's in this sort of weird flux of being an ambitious person but having to confront the reality that it's impossible to achieve on his own a better position that where he started out. Yet he doesn't really have any control of anything because he's parents are very much still active in business.

I'm saying that because he was / is a generally smart, hardworking, personable, easy to get along with person, but because he has no real needs that he has to meet through his own utility he spends all his time seeking out things that might provide him a higher truth and then really believing in them and being shocked when other people don't take the conspiracies completely serious.

So he legit seems to spend most of his time arguing with people on facebook about conspiracies that are off the wall, but then inevitably other people come in and they start agreeing.

I feel like the bulk of people who buy into this stuff are in some sort of the same boat, they've reached a plateau in life that isn't high enough for their level of ambition / skill and aren't able to self actualize or get over the hump to locate the necessary motivating factors to put a bigger plan into place.

Doesn't mean they are all rich kids or anything like that just that they are stuck in a situation where they can only see the status quo where their needs are met and a wildly different world view where nothing is as it seems making everything above their current level of living pointless if it doesn't reach that extremely far fetched situation. It's either 0 or 100.
