I mostly agree the overall picture you outlined.
I don’t profess to know, but it is lonely knowing what I think I know. I am sort of on edge with a feeling that my stable world can come crashing down very quickly. I feel like the people around me aren’t aware of this in the least. They are just going about their business as usual. It is almost like the movie Matrix. They are acting like nothing is different.
In the meantime, I have pulled up the carpets and found that the foundation our house is resting on is cracked and tilted. Maybe I can live out my life before the foundation gives way. Maybe it will give way next week. I just don’t know. All I know is, the foundation is going to give at some point and I feel like the only one aware of this fact among my circle of friends and acquaintances. Their ignorance is blissful. My knowledge weighs heavy.
