ILLUSTRATION BY PAWEL KUCZYNSKI

A modern variant of the Japanese proverb "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down." The elite 1% who control most of the money and governments on the planet say to the masses: we will tell you all you need to know, so stay tuned to your Iphones. Those who manage to break their mesmerization and dare to stick their heads up out of the crowd to see what is going on will be promptly mowed down by one of the Master's servants, who is nicely, primly dressed for gardening. Oh, but so, so environmentally conscious: he's got a EV mulching mower and a catch bag so the leavings can be composted.
