Mitch, I am constitutionally incapable of belief, but I am beginning to accept the possibility of a multiverse and that we , or rather I, am living in an alternate reality, were up is down, good is bad, right is wrong

Google the Mandela effect, Millions of people world wide believed that Nelson Mandela died in Prison, then he shows up on TV as a hero being released, there are lots of instances like that.

The had a TV Series and a book of the same called The Man in the High Castle.

an alternate reality where Germany invaded America landing at Virginia Beach.

Maybe one day I will wake up in a MAGAt free universe, no Trump, No Musk, no religion, no ideology.

William, there are astrophysicists who theorize/predict multiple universes and we are one of many. Philip K Dick wrote the High Castle book and he is a favorite SF writer. He also wrote Bladerunner ( titled “Do Robots Dream of Electric Sheep?”). I think its just been so long since the last global turmoil that we ( in the US and Western Europe where we stopped invading our neighbors) that our political system ( even in a strong democracy) has allowed nihilists and oligarchs to attain so much influence and power. Maybe Canada, Greenland and Panama will come rescue us.

Mitch: Thank you for this statement:"I think its just been so long since the last global turmoil that we ( in the US and Western Europe where we stopped invading our neighbors) that our political system ( even in a strong democracy) has allowed nihilists and oligarchs to attain so much influence and power.

In one sentence you nailed it.

I could indulge in rhetorical meandering, philosophical philandering and a historical exegesis but you said it all in one sentence.
