And I contend, that Karl Rove may have said it, speaking in the name of the power elite: “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

We're left to "study that reality"...and that I would suggest has been our problem for the last 5,000 years or so.

Or, per Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, "Searchlight casting, for faults, in the clouds of delusion."
