It was always a lie.

|content=Can’t wait to listen to friends  @bariweiss &amp; @joerogan get into it!

It’s becoming clearer that @AndrewYang, @BernieSanders, @TulsiGabbard &amp; @realDonaldTrump are running against institutional [[Kayfabe]] &amp; the '''Kayfabrication of everything'''. The others count on the “4th wall” holding.

|content=[[Kayfabrication]] of the US Senate &amp; economics.

Fiat money, [[String Theory|String Thy]], [[Labor Shortages|“labor shortages”]], COVID origin, CRT, 2wks to ‘Flatten the Curve’, etc. I don’t think people take me seriously that it’s now everywhere.

But that is the claim: Lack of growth led to [[Kayfabe]] becoming universal.

|content=Feeling very fortunate to have @JakeOrthwein do this amazing video presentation of Kayfabe as part of a three part video “write-up” of the idea that Embedded Growth Obligations (or EGOs) plunged an industrialized🌍 into Kayfabrication according to a Gated Institutional Narrative.

|content=🆕📺 Just released Part 2 in the Kayfabe series! 

It's a sweeping narrative about America from 1945-2001, told through the lens of 
@EricRWeinstein's ideas on growth, stagnation, fantasy, & violence.

I learned a hell of a lot making it. Details below👇👇
