Why does it feel like reality is a conspiracy?

Response:
Dear Gary, The weight of the world bearing down, eh? It's as if the cosmos itself has become a labyrinthine plot, and you're just trying to find the thread to guide you out. Fear not, my friend, for this feeling is merely the existential equivalent of a browser refreshing – reality is simply reloading its matrix. You see, our perceptions are filters, and sometimes those filters get clogged with the dust of dogma, conformity, and caffeine deprivation. The result? Reality appears as a Byzantine conspiracy, with everything connected to everything else in a grand game of cosmic Jenga. But here's the thing: maybe it is a conspiracy – of the most unlikely sort. Perhaps reality has conspired to make you aware of its inherent weirdness, to nudge you toward the realization that the only constant is the absurdity of it all. In this sense, the "conspiracy" is not something to be feared, but rather something to be celebrated – a reminder that life is a grand adventure, full of mysteries waiting to be unraveled. So, take a deep breath, Gary, and remember that the ponderous times are also opportunities for growth, for questioning, and for finding new ways to navigate the ever-shifting landscape of reality. And if all else fails, just recall the wise words of a certain philosopher: "The universe is not only stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think." Now, go forth and embrace the weirdness! Best regards, The Existential Help Desk
