GladOS is every government. Wheatley is every corporation, that has taken over the system through regulatory capture.
Chell is regular (non-brainwashed) people trying to navigate the system.
Cave Johnson is the earth, sick from experiments, handed lemons, got mad, and is burning our houses down with them. The combustible lemons.
Only way out is to win over GladOS and shoot Wheatley into space.

An unforeseen destabilizing element that, even after he's out of power, takes centuries of outside influence to negate his impact. We're still in the early post-Mule part, and I haven't seen a Second Foundation show up yet.

#Allegorical figures of #plenty: #Flora,# Ceres, #Ops (abundance) and #Pales (goddess of shepherds, here described as rustica cum caseo - with cheese!) All playing #cornetti
To the right, the #elemental figures of Ignis (fire) and Aer (air) - the other two #elements are on the following page.
From the #16thCentury #pageantbook showing the 8 #pageants held for the Christening of Princess Elisabeth of Hesse in 1596.
Bavarian State Library: Cod.icon. 340.

It's depressing because religion wins.

Like, I've known since forever that #symbiotes are a #drugs / #addiction allegory. But somehow, the AIDS allegory was news to me.

"At this the home teamβs coach nearly lost his mind. I used to have ten players on the Court Supreme, he screamed. And then I was forced to play with eight. Of course the lead would shrink under those circumstances.β

It really highlights the difficulties and dangers of trying to edify the #US public using indirect, figurative methods of sharing a message, like #allegory and #satire.
We're thick, as a people. Always have been. If it's not simple, the vast majority of our population will never understand.
Being simple is literally how #Reagan, #Trump, #DeSantis, #Republicans, etc. get and keep power.

It had me thinking about the inexplicable eternal fighting over which is better: #StarTrek or #StarWars?
The truth is, you can't compare the two. One is a social #allegory masquerading as #sciencefiction, the other is epic high #fantasy masquerading as science fiction. There's no comparison to be madeβyou are arguing #technobabble v. #magic.
