Part 6/9:
In a strange turn of events, Joe’s supposed intelligence emerges as a paradox in a world that devalues it. His ascension to an undeserved political status begins with the shallow admiration of a society that previously mocked him. As he grapples with the disarray of government and the populist rallies, Joe’s attempts to revive societal norms—like introducing water to agriculture—are met with skepticism and resistance. The absurdity peaks as Joe realizes that power and respect are accorded, not by merit, but by the sheer absurdity of the times.
