Everything we are told about pretty much everything is a pantomime that everyone suspends their disbelief for, because we all deep, down know that if we stop dancing to the ((( fiddle ))) of musical chairs-sans-chairs 'economy' that we have irrevocably* entrenched ourselves in, it's all over, Rover -- for all of us.
The fact that the most conspicuous 'billionaire' and "richest man in the world" -- no; not who's most likely the actual richest man, ((( Larry Ellison ))) (net worth 2026: ~$200B) -- the shonk, Elon Musk can continually get away, even run with a schtick that consists of him spouting pie-in-the-sky, Jetsons utopic promises which never reach fruition, in and of itself tells us that the it is all just theatre. A show that we, as the audience, are forced to clap like seals to it--on pain of what can only ever end in... well, non-figurative cannibalism.
One does not need even the absurdity of the "safe and effective" #Scamdemic, the Monty Python #Obliterated skits, or the embarrassing #Disclosure circus of distraction to see that we are living in a patently fabricated reality that only exists because we let ourselves be painted into a corner wherein we have no choice but to play pretend in order to keep it propped up. From a psychologically standpoint, this condition is tantamount to a form of mass, global "hypernormalisation" (Rus., gipernormalizastya )¹: The world senses, even knows that things aren't quite right; but, because no one knows of a way out of a quagmire that doesn't crash the plane with zero survivors, we all normalise whatever levels of madness manifest in said paradigm; and just lurch forward to the inevitable, seemingly imminent end.
