Conrad's Great Plan to Reorganize the World in his Own Image reminds me of the South Park Gnomes episode. It was the 30th episode of Comedy Central's animated series South Park. Wikipedia offers...

Tweek's parents, who own a coffee shop, give the boys coffee to help them stay up. The boys drink too much coffee, and end up wired, bouncing off the walls of Tweek's bedroom. Tweek sits on his bed watching. The boys finally come down from their caffeine rush in a hard crash, and are finally ready to start working on their project. While they argue ideas, Tweek notices the underpants gnomes walking single file into his bedroom toward his dresser. After stealing several pairs of Tweek's underpants, the Gnomes walk out of his bedroom, unnoticed by the other boys. Meanwhile, Tweek is freaking out and trying to get their attention. They finally stop arguing and tell Tweek to shut up.

Later, the boys see the Underpants Gnomes for themselves, following them to their underpants-processing underground lair out of curiosity. The Underpants Gnomes are businessmen of sorts, and they claim to know a lot about corporations, so the boys eagerly ply them for answers. The Gnomes explain that their business plan is as follows:

    Phase 1: Collect Underpants
    Phase 2: ?
    Phase 3: Profit

Following the episode's release, the underpants gnomes and, particularly, the business plan lacking a second stage between "Collect underpants" and "Profit", became widely used by many journalists and business critics as a metaphor for failed, internet bubble-era business plans[2][3][4] and ill-planned political goals.[5][6][7] Paul Cantor, a literary and economic professor who uses South Park episodes as teaching aids, said "no episode of South Park I have taught has raised as much raw passion, indignation, and hostility among students as 'Gnomes' has."[8]

Conrad has worked out parts 1 & 2 but has no idea (which others have brought forth useful tried practical suggestions based on their real world experiences, yet Conrad rejects them all) about Part 2.
