In a very real sense we do li:e in a fantasy world, where the pervasive oppositional disingenuous bullshit and disinformation have poisoned us, and we trust the shit we made up to process stuff as high level abstractions without necessarily tying them back to anything remotely near bare-metal material reality.

And tyen when people find exploits in tjose abstractions, there is no recourse, nothing to check them against.

Reality is happening, but we do not comprehend it.

Edit: if you want fiction about this, the book 'echopraxia' has this running through it, or the film 'eddington' which is entirely about this.

This was going on under the surface all this time, growing and growing, people just did not see it as a valid concern thinking "crazy people" or "stupid people" will "come around eventually". They did not expect there'd be enough of them to pull the carriage backwards.
