There is a second secret civilization.
They view you as lowly filth.

Your advanced technology are children's toys compared to what they have.

Your economy is fake.
The resource scarcity is fake.
Your space exploration agency is fake.
Moore's law is fake.
Your scientific geniuses are fake.
Your news is fake.
Your religion is fake.
Your politicians are actors.
Your whole world is an engineered illusion.

In your gut you know it's true.
