Or it looks like the earth is ascending, society likes to build castles in the sky, each with a different color, kept afloat by inflated ego's. When the earth gets exponentially bigger you might consider that the castle in the sky is falling because too many inflated ego's got problems with air pressure. Some say they have a golden parachute, but last time I checked gold was pretty heavy, they probably rather want to dig deep in earth instead of their pockets.
