Yeah but don't listen to him, he's dead.
Hence we can safely conclude that the dead do rule the living.
Checkmate, Epimenides!

The only reason you can paraphrase Thomas Jefferson is because his words were archived a long time ago, and the archives have survived all this time.

Sorry; I did not make my point clear. Were they his words or is the association made up?
Without direct observation it’s hearsay.
What’s the point of maintaining associations we can’t verify? The truth that Jefferson stated such is only hallucination for us.
The value is in the awareness of the realities mechanisms, not the association with Jefferson.
Generational churn means eventually no one who knows why the nested dolls were nested as they are will be gone. Humans will create a new set of nested dolls they can grok.
Paraphrasing Thomas Jefferson; clearly the dead do not rule the living.
Reality we see, smell, hear, and touch is what we get. There’s no violating physics. Let it be lost. It’s going to happen anyway.
