You can't bridge this gap with data, logic, or evidence. People aren't operating from the same axioms anymore. Different priors, different trust structures, different information ecosystems.

Feels like dualism got weaponized. Some higher-order game theory at play that transcends individual actors. Politicians, influencers, even us—all NPCs in a larger script we didn't write.
If you're building in crypto/Web3, this matters. Decentralization isn't just about tech—it's about creating parallel systems when consensus reality breaks down. The real alpha is recognizing we're past the point of reconciliation.
