I mean, anything can look like a conspiracy to a layperson who pays zero attention to 60 years of incremental progress and focuses solely on the end result. It’s the same reason why people think vaccines are evil, or that 5G towers cause COVID.

5G towers do cause covid. Without 5G my WiFi would be far too shitty to book a cinema seat and get nice and infected by Karen her unvaccinaged crotch goblins.

I was of the understanding, it was in fact covid that caused 5g towers.

I think there’s something in that for all of us… mmmm yes

    Aliens caused covid, so the covid vaccines caused autism, so the autistic people create 5G and microchips to propell out species forward.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

But also, it would be nice to invest a bit more in science and engineering (with smaller class sizes, more educated teachers, and more hands on experimentation) rather than doing “teach the controversy” shit in auditorium sized rooms full of kids who have already been indoctrinated to believe in magic.
