There comes a point when the veil thins just enough for the attentive soul to glimpse the machinery behind the pageantry — the hum of consensus, the choreography of perception, the strange theatre of a world insisting on its own stability even as its foundations tremble beneath us.

Every age believes it is discovering something new, yet most of what unfolds are patterns repeating themselves in fresh costumes. Industry, politics, and technology don’t just respond to needs — they create them, manufacture belief, and entrench dependence. What we call progress often carries within it the residue of manipulation, inversion, and distortion, drawing us further from what is natural, simple, and human.
