It was not on my bingo card today to witness someone attempt to ascribe legitimacy to intelligent design through application of computer programming concepts but here we are.

Somewhat akin to the e-libertarians who are convinced they will assume the role of dominant survivor slash ruling class once the pesky government collapses and gets out of their way. As if their inability to attain success in the current socioeconomic climate had anything to do with outside forces limiting their potential. The rolling of my eyes is intense enough to attain gravitational coefficient.

Being even slightly in the 2A space exposes one to all manner of this. Largely as you said, preppers who convince themselves that they will survive and shepherd those of like mind to post-event society by virtue of stockpiling goods they have little to no practical knowledge of how to use.

I don't know if there's a term for it, the term I usually use is fart-huffing.

Ian McCollum is an interesting case. As far as content creators go I tend to prefer InRange/Karl Kasarda but he and Ian collaborate frequently (to the point of designing an AR-15 variant together) though not so much the last few years. I suspect Ian's "history is more important than not platforming people like Larry Vickers" attitude may have disillusioned Karl somewhat.
