Look at the scarred face of world politics! We see a growing number of dictators, wannabe strongmen, as well as opportunist billionaires and businessmen, willing to grab something for themselves. Less taxes, more contracts, preferably state-owned, better trade with countries ruled by one corrupt authoritarian, less regulation and consideration for "those down there". The richest men in the world, who make their dreams come true in the form of shiny phallic objects shot into the bosom of space – excuse me, I had to. I'm so sore and angry. You can't imagine.
These people, in order to do better business and alleviate their frustrations in life, have created an information power grinder. Using money from unclean sources, they created a kingdom of mirrors named social media. A world in which bees can no longer decide for themselves what information is useful and necessary for their survival and pollination. Instead, someone distributes information to them according to a dictatorial key: Fly over there, collect pollen there, ignore this disease, it's nothing, bring the honey somewhere else than usual. Completely dependent on dopamine for the new distribution of information, the bees obediently fly around and replicate the chaos. Some are dying, others are sick. Honey is decreasing.
We are sick because everything has been mixed up in our heads. Too much information, too much stimuli. You can't build a realistic picture out of a toxic puzzle. You always get a dystopia. Images flash by on the wall, most of them crazy, insanely cheerful, insanely sad, insanely outrageous, insanely exhausting. Stop the merry-go-round, turn off the lights. Even no piece of information is better today than this.
We are sick because our demiurges are sick. None of these guys in Silicon Valley are fully mentally fit. They carry various childhood wounds, a desire for power and quick success, a desire to move forward quickly and break things in the process. Some take pills, others prescribe ketamine on their own and in arbitrary doses, almost all experiment with hallucinogenic mushrooms, and some have strange personal gurus who whisper wisdom about the meaning of the universe and inject them with new transcendence. They rave about the Armageddon through artificial intelligence and don't see that their worker bees are dying from their sloppy algorithms of information distribution, misinformation, radicalization, and inability to communicate with each other.
This chaos then helps people as sick as our demiurges to get up. If you suffer a severe childhood trauma like Musk, Trump or Putin, the whole world will turn into one big battle in order to get under absolute control everything that could threaten you in the same way as your father once did. There are no exceptions. Do or die.
This absolute control is the only thing they really care about. And just like the Gods, they transform the world in their own image. They're sick, and in order for them to feel normal, they need everyone around them to be sick. Then the world will turn "normal" and they can finally be naked Kings of the Normies.
