I am used to hanging out with anons, who have a clue about the world and how it really works. Going to the realm of academics and intellectuals is a bizarre experience — like hanging out with super-clever morons.
Martin, I am faculty at a state university and am one of 3 people I work with that gets what is going on. I have been awake for 3 years and must literally talk only about what 'they' want or believe. It's horrible so I keep to myself and my students. Yes, I tell them (the students) the truth.
