I assume people know Animal Farm. But the other day I got my pee-pee whacked in the forum for a Monty Python reference. Not a case of cultural ignorance, just a sign culture has split its seams and there's too much crap to keep in mind.Oh, Animal Farm? I think I heard of it on TikTok, it's this right?
If human behavior is so transparent and predictable that our whole species political bullshit can be explained in an allegorical story 128 pages long, I don't see why it's so farfetched that a being with slightly more processing power than us would be able to effectively maintain control while keeping up the natural appearance of chaotic violent stupidity that is our world's stage.
The notion that we are somehow under the thumb of other beings, and not necessarily benevolent ones, has a lot of traction lately.
