all the world is a stage. no, the world is not an illusion or a simulation and people are real, but what your attention is directed towards is a production, that is scripted and acted and manufactured using sets lights and cameras.

proof?

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely Players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His Acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

Proof: the writing is on the wall.

Now answer me this: why is your avatar the Star of Saturn

It looks nice (and also makes a reference to my own Discord pfp)

after we have played our parts in this clownish act the curtain closes and we retreat into the endless black behind the stage

But are we ready to play as someone else?

no

If everything is scripted, yes. I think everything which has attention is planned and for some riches, scripted. But if you think that all of the attention we are directed to is planned out by one large group, no.

competing and colluding groups
