How would this Bardic Conspiracy have any real power? Clearly these are storytelling hobbyists in some post-Singularity world, and the others are Bayes hobbyists, wisdom-of-crowds hobbyists, and moral virtue hobbyists.

the two are one and cannot be divided even conceptually, as was accomplished for inertial mass-energy and gravitational mass-energy
