1. Never, apparently.

We have been raised, trained, conditioned to tolerate bullshit. We are taught how backwards things are, but we are supposed to accept backwards. We are taught to take bullshit on a daily basis and pretend we like it. If we cannot pretend to like it, they call us mentally ill and put us on medication to make faking liking it easier, for everyone else around to continue to live in the "reality" that was created for us to endure.

In the end, I think it has all be an experiment to see how much bullshit we can endure and how long we can lie to ourselves that how the human species lives is in any way "natural." It might be our normal, but it is not natural. That is what is wrong. We have been conditioned to accept this normal over natural. And now, here we are. It will only get worse from here. It has to get worse before it gets better, because we have to see how much bullshit we can take and pretend to like it first, apparently. That seems to be the plan, from what our leaders are telling us. How much bullshit are we willing to pretend to believe? We will find out. Apparently, we cannot get enough of the bullshit, yet. So far.
