Robert F Kennedy Jr, the third-party candidate for US president, said a health problem he experienced in 2010 “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died”
Why is this world the way that it is? I feel like the world used to make some kind of sense. Now everything just feels like poorly written fanfic. I know it’s absolute bunk but the LHC transporting us to an alternate timeline is the only thing that even attempts to explain how weird everything is now.
This helped me start to understand:
“HyperNormalisation is a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis. It argues that governments, financiers, and technological utopians have, since the 1970s, given up on trying to model the complex “real world” and instead established a simplified “fake world” for the benefit of corporations and kept stable by neoliberal governments around the world. The film was released on 16 October 2016 on BBC iPlayer.”

I’ve watched nearly all of his documentaries, I can’t recommend them enough.
