“Of all the tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive… The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” – CS Lewis
Beyond the upper echelons of the control structure, I don't feel that they're all psychopaths - there are multiple layers and elements to all this. The vast majority of people who are breathing life into this agenda very much believe they're doing so as a service to humanity. We also have the intellectual elites - who have intellectualised themselves to the point of retardation. Indeed, if you ask me - some of the individuals that are hailed as the great minds of our time should be sitting in the corner sucking a lollypop - such is their disconnection from reality.
The entire system they're creating runs counterintuitive to the holistic flow of the natural order, thus - is ultimately doomed to failure. As you allude to, people are far smarter, more resourceful, and adaptable than they give us credit for. For all their intellect, they lack intelligence. Creativity, compassion, and the ability to live in harmony with our surroundings, that's true intelligence and from that perspective, we can observe that they're the least among us. Technology has a part to play - but ultimately, when all is said and done, I am going to stick my neck out and say the future is probably going to look far different than the futurist would have us believe. Personally - I think that's a good thing.
I've moved onto a farm - water is supplied from a pure underground spring, I've learned to work the land, grow food, and look after animals - in doing so I have come to appreciate the genius of the simple life. In many ways, all of this is a theater show (albeit with life-and-death consequences) whose objective is to trick and pressure us into giving away our consent - to surrender the fundamental essence of the human spirit. Trust, there are far worse things than death - thus, I'm willing to stare down the barrel of a gun and take a bullet in the head for my freedom - and there are many more like me - come what may, the human spirit will never be broken. Cheers dude - trust all is well with you. :)
