Everything seems a bit fake these days, not just the money in our wallets or the news on the television. The carefully constructed facade of reality, consistently manufactured and maintained over the decades, appears to be coming to an end. The fake money doesn't buy the fake food that it once did, and the lying politicians are still lying, but nobody is really listening anymore.

What comes next after the public decides that they have moved on from cable news, university indoctrination programs, rigged basketball games, and forever wars fueled by fiat currency? Hopefully, something amazing fills the void, but there is no real reason for optimism these days.
