WHY THE WORLD IS SO WEIRD, EXPLAINED

Think about it, dear reader, and you will agree that the world has become very, very weird. I'm talking about Donald Trump. Brexit, Boris Johnson, Moscow Mitch, climate change denial, resurgence of authoritarianism, greed trumping (oops) the well being of human civilization, and so many other weird things these days. None of it makes sense in a rational world, and so we have to conclude that the world is irrational. But why? How did we get here?

The answer is simple. Our world is a computer simulation. And the teenager in the very technologically advanced world somewhere out there who is responsible for this simulation wrote a random weirdness routine into the simulation program. And, as randomness goes, the weirdness routine popped up everywhere in the simulation at the same time. And here we are, welcome to weird! (Don't worry, nothing is real.)
