Can it be that Cognitive Dissonance is enough of it's own little perpetual trauma making engine that it gives the Loosh feeders enough of a consistant hit that they do not need to go as far as full fear/terror/oppression?

I ask because I was contemplating the nature of the many dichotomies "They" float at us lately with no apparent payoff or manifestation into reality. I assumed they are trying to manifest a darker and more dystopian realm.

However, if their only real need is for consistant loosh, maybe the dichotomy, itself, gives them everything they need?

Or is it just a new tendency for their designs to fail to manifest the way they used to? Or maybe they discovered cognitive dissonance has a more sophisticated flavor than fear/terror/death/destruction?

Hmmm...
