wow gideon! what a post!
Ill just answer your one question you ask.. for the rest.. beautiful post ! a real story

so.
i dont think its a hoax.
but the solutions that are being proposed are
and
i dont say those who push this agenda are evil. on the contrary..
sometimes those in great power, have to make difficult descisions.
just like apple had to remove the headphone port on an iphone.. so too the powers that really be have had to change the way we live,, so that we can continue to live.. and survive in our changing times..

it is a LONG story.. and so far every thing i have felt and said has happened.. Its already clear that we will never go back.. and that in a few years a new virus will come which will be even worse and then we will totally go into virtual lives.. plugged in. and living with AI and AR and all that stuff. The future is HERE. were on the cusp of it.. most of the thigs that are coming are SO far fetched they sound crazy. but yet they are here and about to take over..

Welcome to the beginning of the future gideon!
it may not look pretty now, but it will. eventually.. and whilst living a life almost completely online may seem quite terrible to some, it will be the new normal soon.. very soon .. and that is how we will live.. Peacefully, controlled, utterly manipulated.. unless u just head to Zion..

its really quite surprisingly like the Matrix movie really. very close indeed
