"Cognitive dissonance is me pretending everything is ok, when it's not okay. Not okay. N-O-T O-K-A--Y. NOT OKAY!

Saying it loud is the beginning of a path of self-awareness. Restoration.

Reconciliation with truth. To be conscious of the evil deeds: the malignant overlords that rule this world is the first step. But which is the second? Is realizing that the universe a simulacron? And for what?

What is the purpose of the everything/nothing in this illusory space-time continuum? The energy-matter-information triad? Why us?

Why this dreamland toroid of existence in a vacuum of unspoken silence?"
