Cupcakes of Complicit Confusion Recipe:

Pre heat culture to broiling competition & individualism.

Grease pan with 70 years of banal media entertainment to be sure rigorous thought won’t stick.

Crack the eggs of mutual respect for each other & the natural world, beat until fragmentation is complete.

Add a dash of Military Industrial Complex, Mercer and Murdoch to centuries of colonial violence.

Fold in a pinch of Cambridge Analytica (and or) aggregate IQ, simmer until cultural fissures thicken into conspiracies solid enough to sink the real conspiracies to the bottom of the pot.

If you can find a pandemic to add to the mix this can be particularly emulsifying for creating a golden crispy trillionaire crust. Bake for 700 years in the oven of mechanistic metaphors

Frosting: sugar & dreams of material wealth & ownership Decorate with surrealism. Nothing rises in the cultural cake without something like a garnish of weird.

Serve with religion and agriculture.
