   ### - yep, that was his game plan alright: he rolled with every punch and   
   played-out all his hunches like the very devil himself, and STILL ended up   
   with fuck all in the end?? some plan! (which everyone has some kinda   
   version of innit: getcher vit-imin-ol peeps!)   
      
      
      
      
   > what else can poor boy do?   
      
   ### - good question! well, ignoring the hysterical types who just go nuts   
   and start shootin' up las vegas or whatever outta sheer frustration, most   
   of 'em standing on this exact same point of realisation downed-tools at   
   that point and simply refused to play anymore! they exclaimed: fuck that!   
   and walked away never to play again? (a valid enough choice imho, perhaps   
   even the saner choice ultimately, and also accounts for why the majority   
   go that route) while others (a perhaps more daring minority) opted to   
   remain and go undercover so to speak, their choice being to remain within   
   wallyworld (or on the fringes of it) and so do their level best to keep   
   the whole thing from boiling over prematurely; to try and keep people as   
   sane as possible either by teaching and/or guiding/influencing humanity in   
   some kinda way, guided by their own clear understanding that everything in   
   wallyworld is basically a completely futile waste of time anyway that   
   never-ever adds-up to more than fuck all...   
      
   some of 'em even wrote/made great movies like that one just to try and   
   help people understand! ;)   
      
   accordingly there's a whole batch/genre of books & movies just like it,   
   e.g., one flew over the cuckoo's nest by ken keysey + tons of others, all   
   of them literally works of Art :)
