Have you ever had the problem with a good friend who keeps coming up with conspiracy theories? You do not what to tell them to shut up or act rude in anyway towards them, but it just gets aggravating and they will not stop. Well here is a thought, simply tell them matter of factly and ask them these questions;

Why do you keep coming up with all these conspiracy theories? What is going on? Are you allowing your IQ to create a sense of paranoia, mild schizophrenia, why? Have you been visited by those wannabe, spooks?

If so, we all have, get over it. If all that bothers you then smile at them or have fun with them, lead them on, spook them back. You know you owe it to yourself to stop this paranoia. Use your mind and logic.

You have more conspiracy theories stuck in your head than anyone I have ever met, so either you are not real, this is a test or you need to consider re-self-evaluation and ditch the paranoia, not all those dots connect, you only connected them in your mind, which is okay to do, but realize not all those connections are valid.

This is the same problem with AI going thru scores or terabytes of data scanning for possible terrorists in that you make anything look related as everyone is 3-6 people deep (degrees of separation), but that does not mean the model you created in your mind fits. It might, but it also might be a bunch of non-related false positives. Ockham's Razor helps, use it often.
