"To create chaos is to urge the argument for order -any order - at no matter what price, to replace this nightmare."
That appears to be the endgame alright. It boggles the mind how much time and energy has been expended in the pursuit of our captivity. Imagine a world where those resources had been used for good!
We are obliged to be in this soup but not of it. I prefer not to go insane, and there is no reason for you to do so either. Spread the word and we can mitigate the effects of the virus if you like.
This all reminds me of the Marvel film "The Winter Soldier", where Emil Zola explains to Captain America that Hydra discovered during World War 2 that trying to take away people's liberties by force didn't work—people tended to resist!—so they changed their strategy to creating chaos and mayhem in the world so that people would eventually willingly trade their liberties for safety.
Notlol at all. Cultural production did not leave out interpersonal violence and narcissism, which leaves people more vulnerable to outside threats. Loyalty and interdependence was discouraged as everyone decided to act like Ann Margaret.

You are spot on about this, Frank . I’ve watched this happen in my workplace and I’m a teacher. The foreigners are lining up to do our job and the management know this only too well.
Your writing is fascinating in how it relates to my life : you piece it all together and now it makes complete sense. Thank you.
You have outdone yourself with this masterpiece Frank.
Well that is high praise coming from you Mr. Cook. Thank you. I feel rather embarrassed.
Master piece indeed it is, thank you 💯🎯!!!
To paraphrase Hannah Arendt, if you make people doubt the existence of truth you can do whatever you want to them.
That is very well said John. Quite.
Thank you Frank. I really do believe now that all of these ‘bad actors’ are actually bad actors! 😀
It is not a surprise to you - as it is to many - that such people do not have your best interests at heart.
That’s an understatement Frank! 😀
lole. It is, rather. Down with this sort of thing!
🤣

No TV, no phone, no bible(s). Wont kill anyone who isn't coming to kill me first. Feels like ghost dance time.

Yes the dissolving of social bonds (and personality) are features of the algorithm it seems. Dreadful, but far from universal effects.
