It does not.

The data "came to me" in that it was in something else I was reading for purpose; I did not seek it out. At the same time, I was reading headlines about "burn it down before they can vote," or "Hell no! By any means possible," or "the time for talk and politics is past." This , in turn, generates scenarios that would have been inconceivable yesterday. 

I often feel like the character Benny Noakes in a John Brunner novel> He is out of his mind on hallucinogens, sits in front of a TV watching the news and constantly utters the phrase, "Christ, what an imagination I've got."  All this "stuff" is so weird, so extreme, it beggars explanation or sense making — it must be my imagination.

A bit of Marcus's fatalism, 'people gonna do what they do', some vestige of I told you so,  no pleasure.

Epoch Times Big Data Report August 2020

That's the gasoline. RGB replacement will be the spark.
