Classic story indeed. They gave a version of it in the movie Slackers: https://youtu.be/totdoS6px5k
My hunch is every single qanon story is just that, a story. I would imagine groups of students have competitions to come up with the most absurdly plausible story, with the winner able to perceive the odd conspiratorial mindset that so many in the USA seem to have. When a story goes viral they are laughing in some private chat room.
Watching the movie Slackers (2002) recently was eye opening. You'd think this weird conspiracy thing was recent, but Slackers shows it predated the mass adoption of the internet.
I find it hard to imagine where this ends.
depends on the movie - old favorites, can help set the mood (your brain already knows whats going on-screen).. documentaries where you don't have to look at them all the time seem to be good too.
Anything new and action oriented will probably will make you loose your attention track.
Sometimes my brain is musiced-out and I need something else in the background. Some that I know by heart: Star Treks, Real Genius, Tron, War Games, Hackers, True Stories, Koyaanisquatsi, Slackers, Clerks. Working at home the idle/predictable conversion in the background sometimes helps.
