Continuing our investigation into how our current comedy era got to be so wonderful. They say that power doesn't corrupt, it reveals. Once a guy like Joe Rogan, the Comedy Czar, grabs hold of the reins of power, he can wield his power in any number of directions. We examine humanity's innate instinct to migrate, and where we head when there is nowhere else to go. How can the nature of subjective reality be leveraged and exploited. The complex psychological mechanisms behind the current comedy era. The powerful cult behind the destruction of everything that was ever good. Hyperreality, classic reality. And the cycles.

Thanks and sorry about all of this.

"People like you are still living in what we call the reality-based community. You believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality. That's not the way the world really works anymore. We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you are studying that reality - judiciously, as you will - we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors, and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”
