they'll just assign another hydra. Cut off one head another even worse takes its place.

That represents allegory for suggested information. Consent to anything suggested causes a conflict of reason (want vs not want) and each point of reasoning can be contradicted; which causes yet another separated conflict of reason; while burying those reasoning under endless suggested information.

The ignorance of need (perceived inspiration) for want (suggested information) builds the "tower of babel" aka babel (confusion) and babbel (incoherent uttering); which will always collapse upon itself until only the foundation remains aka perceived sound before suggested words.

it layers into everything

As form (life) within flow (inception towards death); each represents ONE thing within ALL things. Everything represents the source for each thing within. The parasitic few suggest creationism (implies out of nothing) to deceive the many to ignore transmutation (implies out of everything); hence flow to form (inception); form within flow (life); form to flow (death) aka ONEs transmutation out of base ALL.

It's not that the parasites infect and spread into everything; it's that the many ignore being within everything; for instead holding onto all the suggested things; which are in the process of being transmuted back to base everything (from form back to flow).

This is why the parasitic are being perceived as not creators; but destroyers. They aren't; but as long as the many ignore that creation doesn't exist within transmutation; so long can the parasitic few pretend to be the destroyers of all; while suggesting elaborate narratives (wars; pandemics; resets; replacement migration; famines; fall of civilizations; dark ages etc.) to deceive the many from comprehending what's actually taking them apart (their own ignorance to resist ongoing flow as the temporary form within).
