He is only capable of 'concepts of concepts', amid his many fantasies, delusions, projections, & wishes.

All true, the literal deconstruction of this meme, in relation to other card games.

But there is only one *cards* metaphor I have found to reflect Sir #TrumpVirus' mental status:

"He is not playing with a full deck."

Are We Losing Our Minds to AI?

As AI becomes an active participant in our cognitive lives, the line between thought partner and substitute is becoming harder to maintain.

If you don't put round pegs to square
considering triangles there!
You are an exception

They've told you the hole
for this tiny pole
and life's drifting smoothly to quake.
