    I see a good amount of idiocracy, but more what I see is… let’s call it “lunaticracy.” It’s not just that a significant number of powerful and influential people (and their sycophants) aren’t smart - they aren’t even sane.

      They’re sane within their own world. Where we are all NPCs and our lives are meaningless, and the only thing they care about is more for themselves.
