I think you mean nothing's solid anymore, no bedrock, nothing copper bottom with integrity, truth, stability. If so it's been engineered this way. Institutions, law, courts, are dissolving. Only reality is corporate profits and even they are sinking as GAAP melt.

We have a secret police force.
We have concentration camps in the U.S.

Another percentage just refuses to recognize it, and another percentage has their head in the sand and they don't know there's anything to recognize.

I can to wake people up. Trump and the AI bros are equally threatening to reality, equally undermining democracy and the economy - and the environment. They're allied, and we can't afford to treat generative AI, let alone the tech lords behind it, as harmless.
