This morning I asked grok:

And got this:

I asked because I see the following meme stream as illustrating how inversion works:
Start here:

Then, immediately, go here:

Which takes us back, way back, to the absurdity of 2020, beginning on an invisible level, in January, with the Saturn/Pluto conjunction, then bouncing (or is it “pouncing”?) into sudden visibility mid-March, with the WHO declaring “Covid-19” a pandemic, calling for global lockdowns, physical, psychological, cultural.
Yeah, that . . .

Need I say more?
Well, yes. What happened with the extended covid con illustrates an increasingly well known phenomenon.

So yeah, the mind virus called “covid” induced powerful currents of widespread cultural F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real). . . . and served as a test case for whatever absurdity “they” plan to load us with next.
What, wait . . . isn’t it becoming more and more obvious?

Oh no, oh no. Don’t pursue that line of thinking. Don’t need no “cognitive dissonance”! Instead, stay in your lane, compliant on the outside, blind on the inside — paralyzed terror-stricken, by the next big thing to capture the collective unconscious. What will it be? Iran? Digital ID? Nuclear war?

Inversion complete.

“What happens the first time is tragedy, the second time is farce.” — Karl Marx
Well, what about the third time, and the fourth, the fifth?
I remember back in 1973, when “the energy crisis” was front and center.

Having just been fired from my one and only position as a college teacher, for being “too experimental,” I was reduced to hitch-hiking to get around. This was in the Bay Area, back in 1973.
I got a ride with a big black woman. Opened the front right door, got in, sat down, closed the door, and right away, started to complain about “the energy crisis.”
Her response, both instant and definitive, in fact her voice has resonated inside me for over fifty years:
“What you talkin’ about girl?
“THE ENERGY CRISIS IS IN US!”
— she proclaimed while pounding her chest with her fist.
So, given the fact that the price of gas has increased from about $3.65 to $4.15 here in Bloomington, Indiana, and that was overnight last week, it’s obvious that yes, the current energy crisis stemming from the latest confusing mideast imbroglio is beginning to affect Americans.
But what, for human beings, is the original energy?
Not money. Not gas. Not oil. Not electricity. It’s the energy that fills and fuels the universe, LOVE, which, if we but open our hearts, rushes through to radiate and power all of creation.
If enough of us open our hearts and keep them open, no matter what, then our sorry world will blaze forth like a magic wand.
I composed an essay about Our Magic Wand a long time ago. And I still, after all these years, come to the same conclusion.
”And you? My teacher looked up, his left eyebrow arched, pencil poised. 'I want to do a paper on the concept of time.’” I mumbled, timidly. 'Time?' He sniffed. “I wouldn’t touch the subject. Too difficult.” — AK, 1967
