I like that you use actual art by actual people. It's refreshing after seeing so much AI art, clever though some of it is.

I understand the attraction of AI art and what people can do with it, so I don't comment on it elsewhere. But I personally abhor it. The lack of human creativity is like a psychic wound in the place where real art appeals. Some human creations are soulless, but the AI stuff is actually hard to look at for me.

"The outer shell or projected delusion is weirdly static, probably because the inner delusion isn’t coherent as a narrative."

The type of lie that is stable enough to persist is the one that gets settled on, and provides enough pseudo-stability that it can be added as a brick to the giant tower of delusion.

The conflict of confused languages adds instability that keeps the delusion bubble from scaling infinitely. War is a mercy that sweeps the field of unreality. The bare-knuckled touch of reality grants war its cruel beauty.
