The World We Were Raised to Live in No Longer Exists
Widespread loss of faith/trust in the going system typically occurs before a new system emerges. It starts with a consciousness shift that disconnects people from the beliefs that held them within the old system. We’ve seen this shift happen many times throughout history; sometimes, when the outgoing system doesn’t want to go out, it ends in war.
Many people have come to the realization that we’ve been living through one of these massive shifts for a while now, which sped up dramatically since 2020.
In Greek the word “apocalypse” means “revelation” or “an uncovering”. The revelations have been coming faster and faster, and with them, public trust has been drained to all time lows. Institutional priorities all over the place seem not just off but wrong, if not entirely ridiculous. It’s almost impossible to wrap one’s mind around the levels of corruption and incompetence we’ve witnessed in just the 21st century alone and it’s only 2025. Can you even imagine 75 more years of the way things have gone so far without, oh I dunno, a hole being ripped open in the fabric of spacetime that just swallows reality like the nothing in The Neverending Story?
People keep joking that the matrix is glitching. My pal Basil said it’s like someone turned the power on society’s simulation all the way down.
I think you’re right by the way… the power on the (dis)simulation got turned waaaay down. It’s bad, it’s so so bad.

Most people who were born in the 20th century can tell you they remember a much classier, more sophisticated time all around — but most especially in terms of society’s major institutions (politics, legacy media, education, religion, corporations, Hollywood, music, etc.).
Sometimes it really does feel like nothing makes any sense and everything is backwards. Inverted. A b-level straight-to-streaming horror film of a bad stage play acted by drunk circus clowns reading an AI-generated script.
I don’t think I’m alone here in saying it feels like it is getting harder by the day to take much of what’s happening in the world seriously. I mean, let’s face it — if you tried to explain some of the things that happened in 2024 America to someone who just woke up from a decade-long coma, they might actually wonder if you are clinically insane.

But we’ve come this far and we can’t go back now — the most obvious reason being there isn’t anything to go back to (except a bunch of burned bridges to ghost towns).
The reason it is said that “you can never go home again” is because even if you did find your way back, it wouldn’t be the same place it once was in your mind. The past exists only in our memories, and those files can get corrupted with time. With this technology telling us what’s going on everywhere every second in an information inundation, even our sense of time is not what it once was. So much is happening so fast that reality is starting to blur around the edges.
A door is being opened to the future, for better or worse. The Great Reset is just one group’s stated plan for that future (and it isn’t even a legitimately elected group or a very popular plan).

Once a door like this gets opened, however, it is open — and despite appearances (and all this tech and its never ending information overload), said door isn’t so easily controlled as some might want to make it seem.
Why? The human factor. As predictable as we can be and typically are, even sharing our thoughts freely all the time now, there’s still that human unpredictability which really frustrates the hell out of programmers and social engineers alike.
I’m just sitting here this morning musing over this, but whatever we find on the other side of the door we’re all about to walk through in the coming years, I do know one thing for absolute certain: Humanity better take the concept of inherent rights with us when we go through it.
Otherwise, we’re just walking out of one bad situation into a much, much worse one. And the first right on that list is Freedom of Speech, without which, there can be no such thing as Freedom of Thought. The people in the UK are learning this the hard way right now.
Freedom of Speech and free expression is at the core of perceptional reality and one of the only ways to overcome tyranny and mental slavery. We have been subject to what has seemed at times an overwhelming amount of demoralization in recent years, and it’s troubling that some people are giving in to that feeling of hopelessness (or worse, meaninglessness), but I for one refuse — with every fiber of my being refuse — to believe we got all the way to 2025 and have no choice but to live in some Philip K. Dickian Brave New World meets 1984 meets Black Mirror meets Idiocracy mutant dystopic hellscape.
Because, after over a century now of warnings from some of the most brilliant sci-fi writers and filmmakers humanity has ever produced, that would just be so… incredibly…
Dumb.
So please guys, can we not?
Humanity’s future depends on freedom of speech.
