Is it just me, or does the "Entertainment" part heavily inspired from real life ? ^ ^;

Considering Bradley's capabilities and extensive use of them in many ways, isn't his godhood more or less an official fact ? How does he explain the countless miracles his empire runs on ? Between unlimited resources, magical factories, ubiquitous emperor, godlike supersoldiers and full-on wish machines, how does he manage to not appear as a living god to the largest number ?

...now I think about it, Lawrence is almost in the exact same situation ^ ^; But his transcendence is public knowledge, while Bradley seems highly secretive and manipulative, so I can't help wondering how he manages to pull it off. How much do people know about him and his abilities ? How does he keep them in the dark about it ? Unless citizens are really obsessed with entertainment, they are bound to notice a gigantic god/mortals gape between Bradley and imperial citizens.

"The world's governments will give up all of their secrets and release every possible plan and secret onto the internet for everyone to see."

...do what I say, not what I do ^ ^; I seems politic and hypocrisy are really indissociable. You just can't rise to power or keep your nice seat without lying, fooling and manipulating tons of people all the time.
