It appears you are close to the crux of the issue. As noted in this, and his other posts, there is a pronounced pathological, intellectual and developmental deficiency being satisfied.
His core pattern is based on fundamentally flawed logic, where a complete lack would not suffice. He uses theories with illusory connections as fact to feed his fantasy.
Solid and supported research shows these types of persons are less likely to have had the kind of education, and critical thinking skills necessary to help them see the glaring holes in their wild theories.
His inflated sense of his own intellectual competence, shown in his posts, also shows up in all Dunning-Kruger syndrome studies.
But then, I may be wrong.
