Holy shit, the ruling class haven’t progressed from Nazi pseudoscience at all. These are some of the most powerful people on Earth and they’re barely smarter than cave people that think their own shadows are ghosts.

This isn’t at all a unique take. I’m old enough to remember in the 90s/2000s hippie parents of low support autistic children came up with the name “indigo child” to paint their needs snd struggles as being particularly sentitive/attuned to the supernatural.
It was awfully convenient for them, made them feel special while they ignored their child’s needs.
It’s wild though because they’ve had 30+ years of research they could easily just look up to find out how incorrect their weird pseudoscience is. These guys have all the time and money in the world and yet they’re so ingnorant of the very world they have so much sway over.
It’s more fun in that cursed, desperate, way. They have no need to actually ever be correct as their money doesn’t care about their opinions, and they’re insulated from corrective consequences so they can just enjoy incoherency without even having to be original about their fantasies.
Engaging with reality will just tell them they suck, and that they’re not above the world.
And then there was that weird game Indigo Prophecy by Quantic Dream that was based on that woo woo nonsense.
I actually played through the whole thing and it was interesting enough to keep me engaged enough to finish it but man that shit is wild. Pretty sure the dev is some kind of crypto fascist or at least incidentally adjacent.
