I'm using my frankness to inspire your eventual break from the repressive social attitudes of your ant regime. Magic is symbolic of the grand illusion of all societies. Especially ant society. Kind of scary, your hive's influence on us humans. It's such a blissful possibility being made part of one mind.

It's a bit like these smaller sculptures that Tim showed off on his Grand Illusions yt channel:

Yeah, there are lots of videos of him online, but this one seems appropriately creepy:

He's the Grand Illusions guy. Aside from the videos his online toyshop has a lot of cool stuff.

Sheesh... if you listen to Styx you would know it's all a grand illusion

Do you think you have him beat? This man has been staple-less stapling since the Reagan administration. That's how much of a badass he is.

How deluded must you be to believe that punching a couple holes in a piece of paper once every two to four years has any significant effect or meaning in your life? He's right, as the politicians sell you that grand illusion of democratic choice you lose your real freedom to choose.


And...? Until we no longer have a system where the majority can vote my rights away I will continue to vote. Doesn't mean people who think it's a fundamentally good system aren't deluded.


You're so Manichean about things. I'm with Churchill -- democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried.

In any case, the platonic ideal of democracy is that all citizens get an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. What you're describing, by definition, isn't democracy. If people's choices are being usurped, or made meaningless, it's ceased to be democracy.

What we need is more democracy, not less.

I can never unsee this illusion, I think it's one of the best.

You can easily fold and glue a dragon which has the same effect by following the instructions here:

I have one on my desk

Now that is *quality. We need a printable plan to make our own, like the 3D dragon!
