If your explanation for world affairs makes sense, your are at least in part wrong.

 Making sense of things is a favourite pass-time and it's doomed to be in error.
The "truth of the matter" when determined by one brilliant person, is still an authoritarian solution that leaves out what millions of others believe in some cases and think in other cases.  It's like a state controlled economy instead of a market with price signals that determine what happens next.

"Sense" is subsidiary to reality and I believe much of reality doesn't make sense in human terms and never will.  Where were you when the lights were out and you fell asleep and later when "you" dreamed?   What's the story about dark matter and energy - which has never been pinned down - being the major component of the gravitational universe.  And so on.
