For better and worse, we get 99% of our reality from each other and trust is assumed. That’s just how society works and it ain’t gonna change.
Yes, it’s far from sane. Yes, social media has turned it up to 11.
Don’t like it? Want “truth”? I dunno.
Call the sheep dumb but maybe they just don’t take the reports of the wolf seriously. I mean, this little box tells me all kinds of stories. Aliens. Spaceships. Monsters. One gets jaded.
Find a way to make money where you sell your services directly to the customer. No boss or job. Flexible schedule. Good money.
Yes, drug dealer is one such, but there are others.
You don’t think we could hit 99% popularity?
Some people need a master. Children tempted to drink gasoline, for example.
Assuming that the control could be resisted, call that a test. A test of self-awareness. If you can resist then you get free will, if you don’t then you don’t. It could be appropriate either way.
Assume that it’s one you like.

Assume there’s a legitimately strong argument for their goodness and smartness.
You can’t make better people and better cattle at the same time.
Imagine you were a billionaire. Which do you want?

You want to say “breedist” then? Doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue.
In other words.
You can stuff their heads with memes and talking-points all day, get them shouting the party slogans in chorus.
But you can’t give them the initiative to actually do something.
(Or to think for themselves for that matter. It rather contradicts the whole stuffed-head thing)
That’s rather racist. Understand?
Sure, I’m cashing them in later today.
The moderators have the power therefor when they do something rude it actually isn’t rude. In fact you are rude for suggesting that they are being rude, and deserve punishment.
It’s funny how power works.
Lemme see if I can put that in a succinct meme.
We have created a parallel reality. A consensual dream. And, when you live in a society, skill at navigating the consensual dream is more useful than skill at navigating reality.
That probably covers it sufficiently. Translations for non-sexual contexts is easy.
The otter look. It’s a good look. Get fit, dress right.
