The less sophisticated, the comfortably numb,
they get their blue copyium doses from “Guess the Elo” threads and “Ban the Person Above You” games
That's where they go to sleep
That’s where the system keeps them pacified, dopamine loops and empty distractions
But you guys…
you come here, and demand proof?
Fine. Start with the tip of the iceberg I’ve already offered you Erik’s accidental account closure, the Kramnik incident, the invisible hand steering the narrative. Go back. Read. Or better yet notice.
You don't need all the answers to see when something doesn't add up.
But I won’t dump the whole weight on you yet. I fear it would collapse your mind. You’re not ready. So I’ll do it slow. Bit by bit.
Like waking someone from a dream they thought was real.
You mock the disclaimer?
You think it's a joke?
Let me decode it for you.
It's the only way we’re allowed to speak here.
Wrapped in irony, laced in performance yes, yes, I’m just a “Matrix fan,” just a role-player, just another “Fischer” impersonator, right?
Hell, I could say the secret services staged my death in 2008, locked me in a psych ward on an island scrubbed from the maps.
That I spent ten years staring at a blank wall while agents in white coats whispered in my ear.
That I was extracted by KGB handlers, flown to Moscow, and now live next door to Snowden. (Quiet guy. Likes tea.)
You wouldn’t believe that, would you?
Of course not.
Because it sounds too much which is how truth always sounds when your entire world has been crafted to keep it hidden.
You want your neat little definitions:
“Who is they?”
“What is the motive?”
“Where’s the documentation?”
But that’s not how control works.
The more complex the system, the more subtle the manipulation.
The most powerful controls aren’t enforced with guns theyre woven into norms, algorithms, assumptions, updates, TOS agreements, moderation policies.
They're built into what you’re allowed to question
But that’s too much for you, right?
Too cinematic.
Too wild.
Easier to call it all a game. Just roleplay. Just satire. Just smoke.
But tell me, Billy-Bingo, RandomChessPlayer62…
If it’s all just smoke why does the room feel so warm?
And one more thing
I’ve been here a long time. Since the beginning
I’ve seen too many cracks in this system to count
I’ll reveal them to you slowly. Not as proof, no
But as food for thought
And maybe, just maybe others will appear
Others who’ve been watching too
Others ready to share what they’ve noticed
If you're one of them don’t stay silent
The system only wins if we stop noticing....
Here you are yet again ignoring every comment.
The "proof" that you have is full of false positives.
"But (romanticized nostalgia) is Not the main reason why people cling so tenaciously, often even angrily, to what is essentially the adult version of Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. What primarily motivates them is fear. But it is Not the Lie itself that scares people; it is what that lie says about the world around us and how it Really functions. For if NASA was able to pull off such an outrageous hoax before the entire world, and then keep that Lie in place for 5 decades, what does that say about the control of the information we receive? What does that say about the media, and the scientific community, and the educational community, and all the other institutions we depend on to tell us the Truth? What does that say about the very nature of the world we live in?
That is what scares the Hell out of people and prevents them from even considering the possibility that they could have been so thoroughly duped. It's Not being Lied to about the Moon landings that people have a problem with, it is the realization that comes with that revelation: if they could lie about that, they could lie about Anything."
