Fake goals pay off on a lower level
The vision of a funny future puts stories and idealism higher, to raise intensity. Yet this is a fictional effort, a synthetic capstone. Our intensity is funny and excessive, playacting. With disbelief, anyone can do it.

On the other hand, we are acting out the universal longing for a higher state and a better place. That's a powerful theme, and we suspend disbelief to do it.

Fictional or not, this added intensity is applied to the present work, which does produce good things now or soon. Our fake goals pay off on a lower level, and that's another joke. It also keeps us from getting too involved with the idealized goals.
