I know this is real. I know this is part of the world in which we all live. And yet I remain in a state of cognitive dissonance in which I can't integrate this fact that I know to be true into my picture of the world. I know that 1.) this was a video that had to be made to address a problem, and 2.) I know that this video was the attempt they made in all earnestness to address the problem.
The difficulty I have integrating this into my understanding of the world marks the limits of my imagination. There is an (entirely misplaced) optimism that even I didn't know that I had.
