That's not conservatives, that's most humans.
Now yes, conservatism is about skepticism of any proposed system of interpreting reality to bring solutions. Sort of a chaotic ideology. There are ideologies chaotic too, but opposite in sign about optimism, ancom and ancap similarly for this purpose, or maybe even Soviet communism (which didn't specify what "communism" itself is other than "no money, no hierarchy, no government", because that had to be ascertained). These are all about not knowing what specific system is good or bad, generally, but having an idea of approaching that good or avoiding that bad.
There are also orderly ideologies, like that bog standard liberal democracy that was supposed to always work, or constitutional monarchism, where the "ideal" system is very precisely described and should just be implemented. This also includes Catholic distributivism, which seems somewhere between ancom and ancap, except it's clear on how it should work.
Fascism notably is all over the place, though, that's its only definitive trait. Fascism differs from mainstream in a different dimension than most ideological extremes. Its point is that there's no point, just vibes and will transcending reality. It's can be skeptical or it can be optimist, it can be progressive or conservative, the point of fascism is that these don't matter, only what you need and want right now. Truth doesn't matter, only the dream.
There are also orderly progressive ideologies. US progressives are such. Or leftists who think that Soviet system is their dogmatic ideal, while I have already written before than in Soviet communism it was just a mechanism. The dogmatic ideal was somewhere at some point making that ideal society, quite similar to kingdom of heaven for Christians in perception.
