It would be possible to account for my current difficulties according to the world of appearances, and the commonly held view of things -- in ways not at all to my credit, and more to the point, in ways that everyone actually involved would know to be false.
But this is why I mention The Matrix so often -- the false folks, the ones who are just playing a game to hold their economic or professional position, with not much being accomplished by it, and generally disavowing any notion of truth, are playing the game according to appearances, and perhaps intend precisely this outcome.
I've never turned to fight them, though for some reason I've been surrounded by them since I left my family's home. I've done real work, and engaged with the reality of the ideas that I've encountered.
There is much corruption going on inside the world of postwar industrial prosperity here. The architects of that system, perhaps knowing their children well, idiot-proofed the mechanism thoroughly. It would take a lot of civic disorder to stop the trucks of frozen hamburgers that roll in every week.
Omnis homo mendax. I go on.
