Predictive programming, a little bit of priming. I mean science fiction is always kind of been a little truth, little fantasy, you know. All the publishers are consolidated. If your book makes it to the shelf, you know, it goes through certain censors. I mean Hollywood works directly with the Department of Defense and it changes the scripts and the trade-off is they have access to military equipment. America has a problem with idol worship. We have like a savior complex and Hollywood kind of feeds into that. Like the boomers had John Wayne, you know. Everybody is just acting out a character, unself-actualized, and everything that they want is just like a fetish. It is so gross. People lean into things because they're just trying to escape reality, you know. They don't even have the words to describe the dread of living. They have a way of masking and even lying to themselves. Everybody's self-diagnosing themselves and all this nonsense it's just and then it's all about your mental health, your mental health, bitch please we don't care about mental health we just want to say we care about mental health. It's all about managing perception, keep moving forward. The working class never gets anything done because they just watch the shadows dancing on the walls playing out their innermost desires and then they just go back to sleep again. I just think about the allegory of the cave. I know it's like simple and like anybody can use it right to prove their argument. I call it the sofist uno card. I know you are but what am I? And then I think pearls before swine, you know. If they're not ready, they're not ready. I mean you can't just force these things, which is also another conundrum. We live in false paradoxes. And in the labyrinth of stupidity, the Matador chases us out of influence, Out of the halls of power.
