What's both terrifying and fascinating about Q is that it's premised less even in its ideas than in the nature of documentation. Via social media, there has never been a period in human history as documented as the last 10 years, & you can make any connection you want in there
If enough people say enough shit, the human brain, reeling at the monolithic, imperturbable simultaneity of semiotic overload and utter meaninglessness, will eventually find every possible narrative path through all that blather, and it's not just Q: we all go insane forever
I'm probably paraphrasing Derrida here – as I've tried to make clear on the show, I'm always paraphrasing him – but with a functional infinity of information, what matters is what you LEAVE OUT, and so we all come to live on each other's expurgated pages and cutting-room floors
And we like to pretend that this only goes for Q, or for
gate, but it's true for everyone; they're just egregiously, hilariously wrong (and I mean "hilarious" in the old, frightening sense). We're ALL doing it, and it's a question of departure from consensus reality, not yes/no
