People who can be around fantasy a lot, without losing track of reality.
That's a useful skill in 2021, when the world, and particularly America, is being sucked into a vortex of unreality.
This isn't a bug of humankind, it's very much a feature.
Humans are what we are because of our ability to engage in the shared fantasy we call society / culture / civilisation.
Which has always brought with it some structural issues
That just got waaaaaaaaaaay more serious
That's not to be used as an excuse. These morons really were mounting an insurrection
while believing the whole thing was a game, fantasy, or LARP
Not only are there people who want to pull down democracy.
There are people who have become so untethered from reality that they will participate in the insurrection LARP
You start to realise that giant chunks of the population are detaching from reality, like ice bergs drifting into an ocean of fantasy.
If everyone in your village believes in Odin, you're gonna believe in Odin.

On Sunday 21st June, 14 year old Noah Donohoe left his home to meet his friends at Cave Hill Belfast to study for school. #RememberMyNoah💙
He was on his black Apollo mountain bike, fully dressed, wearing a helmet and carrying a backpack containing his laptop and 2 books with his name on them. He also had his mobile phone with him.
On the 27th of June. Noah's naked body was sadly discovered 950m inside a storm drain, between access points. This storm drain was accessible through an area completely unfamiliar to him, behind houses at Northwood Road. https://t.co/bpz3Rmc0wq
"Noah's body was found by specially trained police officers between two drain access points within a section of the tunnel running under the Translink access road," said Mr McCrisken."
Noah's bike was also found near a house, behind a car, in the same area. It had been there for more than 24 hours before a member of public who lived in the street said she read reports of a missing child and checked the bike and phoned the police.
