Speaking of consciousness and disunity, there's a troll on the Wikipedia Reference Desk (and probably similar trolls in other tech support forums) who answers questions with extremely dense and advanced technical jargon, forming completely fictional non-answers, and he flourishes them with "pretty simple, really" or other condescending touches.
Not long ago, he was called out, and then cited at least one technical whitepaper that actually featured a term we said that he'd made up, and at that point it became a meta-troll whereby he was so well informed about the leading edge of research, his fake answers had a real basis in truth, and still no relevance or application to the simple end-user questions that were being posed. It was masterful.
