Wow @jesusavocado just pointed out to me that the reason "are we cake?" is so compelling right now is because structures and systems are crumbling, and we are seeing them for what they are. "I think it honestly speaks to where our minds are at during this pandemic."

+ he threw in a little Philosopher's Cave mention, too. "Are we in a cave... or are we actually all connected? Are we cake?"

"Societal norms and infrastructure have only been a formality of us as a country being convinced we're 1000% better. But in reality it's healthy to recognize that as a nation it's O.K. to say we have job to do."
