Ego.
Conspiracy theorists believe they're special; that they know the truth, while everyone else is living a lie. They believe they managed to discern truth from fiction based on evidence that was hidden so that nobody could find it... except them, of course. They believe we're all being fooled by "Them" (every conspiracy theory has to have a bad guy named "Them" or "They" - the ones who don't want the truth to come out for some obviously nefarious purpose), and that "They" own (or are working their way toward owning) the world, and only the ones who know the truth can fight back. "They" have eyes and ears everywhere, but "They" can be defeated if the conspiracy theorists band together, because a handful of conspiracy theorists are more powerful than "Them".
In short, it's a power fantasy that little children have. Like playing video games where you get to be the hero that saves the world - the chosen one - only IRL. Nobody cares either way, though.

The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?
