Society isn't designed, it is build and rebuilt, all piecemeal, and always by many hands. Coordination is not the right term to describe what I will concede is a sort of "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" type symbiosis. I reject that there is a conspiracy there on the basis of a lack of evidence.
I also think you're far too harsh. Mindless sheep? You're going to need to dust off your fedora man 😜 I know it's in jest but still, you give the overlords too much credit and your fellow human not enough.
