I'm not expecting to be understood today. A hundred years from now, though. They'll be saying how did he see things so clearly in such a backwards era.
Dream on. If "they" stumble upon your output in a hundred years from now they'll be saying much the same things about it we are saying now.
A hundred years is a long time at the growing pace of absurdity. Don't be so sure.

I appreciate the posts in question as a surreal artwork... :tea:
Surreal, maybe, though 'absurd' is a slightly more appropriate adjective. Artwork? Doesn't even work as some sort of metaphor. I suggest 'confabulation'.

You just broke another irony meter.
