I know/understand most of your references.. it’s probably an age thing. 
I hate to do this and not refer to the passage: ‘one picture says all words, but compelled, did (at considerable angst,

Plus, age is so relative, it is no longer a concern , except to a singular being heading for a Singularity.

..that’s one way to put it.

I’d say that many of your references are from eons-past/European-related, so obscure to many.
..and anyway, who doesn’t know Pinocchio? 
Right, but so? The relevance is still there, when a boy’s father’s father, when he was a boy, thought to tell the truth, and he thought he did, because that’s what he was thought, well, Trump is trying to set back the clock as well. And that’s why he got elected, for a far gone metaphor.
And. That metaphore, is as real as the voters saw it that way. Maybe got carried away by the joys of simple things and acts of necessary survival.
The days of scarcity are well remembered here, when sans sausage, people spread garlic , or grilled garlic paste on fried bread, and that did the trick, it was better than the real thing.

To assert truth, while doubt prevails, is more difficult than asserting doubt in the first place, even in light of overwhelming evidence.
Let us not count the ways , for either proposition is possible, but probability suffers it by virtue of one that’s most widely pronounced,

When given room/reasons to doubt, people will always choose doubt.. those that have been lied to and disappointed most of their life, will do so the most.
What boring lives such types must lead.

Living in the realm of disappointment and lies.. not my vibe/not my world/not my reality.
Yeah that’s why you’re so mean to everybody. And you think you’re better than everybody. Pride comes before the fall.
