I think you will enjoy these 2 recent talks by Erik Davis on this same subject. Last bit of the second maps out his 10 ways to navigate weirdness. Excellent.

Super cool, thanks, his name keeps coming up, but I’ve never actually dug into one of his lectures.

There’s an Ogilvy quote that “ the best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.”

Loved the way you framed this Tom - brilliant - lots of loose things flying around these days; we need to appreciate the weirdness to make sense. I've been trying to make sense of all this by going back to fables/fairy tales. You may enjoy this: https://rajeshachanta.substack.com/p/the-world-in-2025-an-allegory
