Unreal City: The Strange Disappearance of Reality
It’s finally happening. Reality is disintegrating. The Age of Nihilism is dawning. Fake news, post-truth, post-facts, alternative facts, “everyone has their own truth”, the Dunning-Kruger effect, Mythos, hyperreality, hyporeality, virtual reality, virtual irreality, simulation, simulacra, the copy without the original, the map that precedes the territory, the authentic fake. Whom will you believe? Whom will you trust? Who is telling the truth? Who is lying to you?
It’s time to explore the Unreal city, the Unreal world. Soon enough, humanity itself will be Unreal.

We need to wake up!
Everywhere we look we see the gospel of falsehood and fakeness. The gospel of Hyperreality, more real than real. Whether it is the world all around us, the news, the capitalist system, democracy, social media, the people themselves, money as a concept, wars, religions and their false interpretations, entertainment, muzak, and on and on.
Everything has reached a critical level of falsehood that we have understood it to be the true reality. We are unable to look at the world from a rational perspective and a clear mind. We ourselves are fake. We don't know who we truly are, why are we here, where we have come from and hence our understanding of reality is deceived as well.
It is a feedback loop. We basically project ourselves to the world for the sake of understanding ourselves (our minds) as we have no clear window to look at ourselves.
Many will say that life itself and everything accompanied are mere exercises in futility, but I say these are exercises in genuine Ontological Mathematics.
