"kaleidoscopic madness of noncomprehension". Hilarious image. Thank you for this. Not the OP but this actually describes my state sometimes. Darkly, I think the problem is I put too much faith in others.

I guess because endangering its ability to function here endangers its ability to funnel data?

It’s a data funnel to Larry Ellison and the Trump crime family now.
