On Believing Utter Lunacy

I'm accustomed to living in a world where most people believe in utter lunacy, such as imperfections
in software being unavoidable and there being no conspiracy to keep automatic computer architectures
weak and open to trivial flaws, but lately I've noticed an increase in a particular flavour of utter
lunacy, such as an ice wall surrounding all continents and the world being capped by a glass dome by
the name ``firmament''.  I've noticed this strongly in people at least half a century of age, though
perhaps my social circle simply has a small radius.  I've read accounts of this and spoken to others
about it, so I know it to be some larger problem.  It's uncomfortable to share air with such idiots.

I saw the beginnings of this mental illness years ago, and tried to avert it; I told those around me
how their phones wouldn't unlock the secrets of the universe to them, and they of course agreed, but
they continue to learn ever more of this nonsense through their phones nevertheless.  This so-called
``social media'' is a plague on humanity.  Older people generally have no immune system against even
basic trickery common nowadays; a related issue is the plague of Indian scammers tricking old people
into buying several thousand dollars' worth of gift cards and then giving to them the codes thereon,
but this can be amusing, at the very least.  There's nothing funny about being surrounded by lunacy.

I try to live a life in which I care not about that which affects me not.  It makes no difference to
my life if man has stepped on the moon or not, or even whether an ice wall surrounds all continents,
but this isn't nearly enough for the average idiot, who must have an opinion on everything no matter
its insignificance.  I've countered many times that they wouldn't believe in supercomputers, if they
held them not in their own hands, but that has only been accepted and forgotten or, worse, countered
by the idea that there mustn't truly be billions of transistors therein, but something much simpler.

I think those who attempt to control man have decided that, since the wheels are finally falling off
of their many lies, that the people will not but disbelieve those lies, but everything else as well.
This has the effect of making those who see through the obvious lies, such as genocides that clearly
never happened, rightfully appear to be lunatics when trying to explain some truths to any listener.

I know myself to have fallen also to delusional thinking, and what many would also call utter lunacy
were they to know, but I've the decency to keep it to myself and any interested or relevant parties.

The feelings of decay surround me like an ice wall, isolating me further from all others and choking
me slowly.  Recently, a boat staffed by twenty-two Indians crashed into a bridge built in the 1970s,
utterly destroying it; it seems clear enough to me that subhumans can't maintain any infrastructure,
which would explain why the ship apparently lost power at a critical time, but idiots choose instead
to believe it to have been a cyber attack or planned destruction.  Neither of those alternations are
unreasonable, but I've encountered a total unwillingness to believe anything else, regardless of the
evidence one way or another, and it's this inability to consider other ideas that leads to nonsense.

The United States of America never should've allowed its space program to decay, as that has allowed
a thriving population of idiots who disbelieve in space entirely to form, and it's quite sad to see.

I'm comforted by the knowledge that I'll likely outlive many of these idiots, in one way or another.
