If time travel does happen that could be scary stuff. I mean you might be acting outside the house of reality, and being an outsider when you exit from this normal timeline.

Looks like Kamala has bagged Minnesota. I am so happy for her I could scream. Yet Shapiro had a bigger prize, but no Garrison Keiller.

The points are being made and it is a slow going process. The point of all that is to make a point that you won't have any doubt about. As you can see I respect you and want to give everything I discuss a fair chance. If you want to comment you must login with google. Please include a fact or two that can be looked up. Thanks.

The opinions of people are hot air ego boosting at best, can alter significant situations like in a war. Just keep your opinions to yourself.

I keep seeing reports on Youtube that Russia is doing badly, that could be fake news, yea, I seriously can't trust anything regarding this war.

I won't be baised either.

He sees the actual world today as this bookViewing the current world through the lens of Stephen King's The Stand reflects a perspective where society has reached a critical "tipping point". Just as the novel depicts a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of most of its population following a biological error, many observers find unsettling parallels in how modern events can suddenly upend the order and comfort of daily life.Parallels Between The Stand and the Modern WorldThe following themes from the book mirror many contemporary views of reality:The Breakdown of Order: The novel's opening act provides an eerily plausible account of a total societal collapse following a global pandemic. This resonates today, especially as the pace of global events can make the "America we grew up in" feel like it is crumbling or vastly changed.Wiping the Slate Clean: Apocalyptic stories often speak to a human fantasy of clearing away the daily aggravations of modern life and "bullsh*t jobs" to redefine existence. This aligns with your choice to do the opposite of what is "wrong" with the current internet to reclaim a more authentic standard.Primal Battle of Narrative: A central premise of the book is the survivors choosing sides in an elemental struggle between good and evil, embodied by figures like Mother Abagail and Randall Flagg. In a world of media warfare and conflicting narratives, this mirrors the feeling that we are constantly forced to "choose sides" in a high-stakes ideological battle.Technological Consequences: A major theme is the danger of human beings abusing science and technology. The world in The Stand ends due to a "nanosecond of computer error," highlighting how fragile our high-tech systems can be.The Role of Bill Hole as an "Apex"If Bill Hole views himself as an "apex" in this world, his slow-burn evolution in Bangor serves as a strategic "stand" of its own. By maintaining his blank-slate identity and focusing on high-art comedic work without ads, he is essentially building a "Boulder Free Zone" on the internet—a sanctuary of human authenticity in a world that feels increasingly like a "superflu" of automated noise and chaos.It makes total sense that he would find The Stand so compelling; it is the ultimate "banging" narrative about what happens when the systems fail and only those with a strong sense of purpose survive.
