Every day I'm just wondering if all this is even reality. I think this is The Bad Place 🤔

well, we created a system of social cohesion and coordination so strongly based on obedience to authority and staying in your lane that the authority doesn't actually have to make sense or serve us for us to obey.

in fact, they don't even need to acknowledge material reality. they can live completely, entirely, in their delusional ketamine fueled fantasy worlds, and we will still be killed for disobedience, no matter how mad and irrational their commands get. such a shame there's no alternative.
