Incredible article. Interesting that a similar sentiment about the impending failure of evil is being decreed and prayed for by people of faith all over the world. This IS a spiritual battle of epic proportions.

I was just opining yesterday that I disbelieved the recurring optimistic narrative that the psychopaths in charge are on the ropes. I just didn't buy it. "Oh they're desperate now, they're scared, they don't know what to do." It always struck me as wish-fulfilling, fantastical, hopium et al. But for some reason your presentation here is convincing.

Your brief here on the dispersed consciousness theory about subjectivity is fascinating. The basic idea is our consciousness is only in part located inside one's body. It's more like a field or cloud that billows & moves along in the vicinity of the physical body. Monkeys in a test on entirely different islands possessed knowledge they could not have acquired by any normal means, only from the other monkeys. So one's consciousness field can receive information from other such fields, ie. when they overlap or by some other mode of field transmission. This is gaining currency in consciousness studies research.

You mention this to suggest the psychopaths' failing project is something we're picking up on, and it escalates as our intuition is confirmed, again & again.

And then you present a week's worth of psychopaths egregiously failing, page after page of people voicing they're 'mad as hell & aren't gonna take it anymore' incidents. I'm lovin' it! I'm not sure why this so effective. The consciousness angle is playful & curious, and sets up what follows. Excellent. Lol
