Dead people can keep secrets and there are a lot more dead then alive people....

Combined with the increase of entropy and wisdom over time, which are paradoxical unless the observed entropy is a illusion and the 'gaining of wisdom' is actually 'losing wisdom' seen from the retro-causal point of all origin outside the kenoma, otherwise known as the here, now and ever.

Does make it look like Ericson made some half-assed assumptions about conspiracies.

But does that all make this comic less or more funny over time and is time solely defined by the seemly observed passage of space-time by (relative?) movement?

9/42 made me question my coffee habits.

Erickson's logic is fundamentally flawed. He failed to account for the squirrels.

Dead or suicided?

Dead men get no tail. But suicided ghosts are verbose and the worst.

Funny. But in reality it's easy to keep a secret in a society that doesn't care enough to look in the first place.

It's also easy to keep a secret when your salary depends upon it.

There was an entire secret town that developed the first nuclear bomb, most of them not even realizing what they were working on. Information compartmentalization can go a long way. https://www.citylab.com/design/2012/06/secret-city-birthed-atomic-bomb/2366/
