Schizophrenia

[Mister Obvious]

Right off I think of how poisoned American culture/society is and has been
for so long. Also, one can't rule out various malevolent forms of tech that
could be contributing to it - like voice-to-skull. Not to mention the electromagnetic
swamp of hindrance we've been swimming in since the 70's.

This is what I think is going on too.

Could quite literally be an experiment.

I'm not opposed to it being more "organic" and just happening
that way - but we've got a pretty strange world going on here
in the US.

I've spent a substantial amount of time in Canada and I can tell you that it's a very different experience.

You can feel a heavy sense of 'surveillance' and 'intrusion' as soon as you return to the US.

I can also attest that the personal surveillance I've experienced on and off since I was a teenager (online, long story, not gonna elaborate) was also temporarily suspended whenever I was Canada for long periods of time.
