As amulets go, "the mask" is pathetic. But I think one could make a decent business of designing and selling more interesting and durable (and equally ineffective) amulets for the next pandemic. Of course they wouldn't satisfy the guardians, but they would be a nice visual.
I appreciate your deep dive so far. I think your digging around and connecting some of the many 'coincidental' dots, is right on the $$money; which is what any repressive practice is usually about - profits for the few, suffering for the many.
I would like to add something darker, more evil, to your brilliant playful, yet chilling, analysis of NVidia and its history, both ancient and modern-- back to the wearing of flying penis amulets. I'm not sure what the amulet meant way back in the times the flying penis was worn. But... 'Penis Envy' is something that women are supposed to have - wishing they had a penis - according to Freud (and we can thank his evil nephew Edward Bernays for what he has done to this country as an 'ad' man selling war and other atrocities to the public through manipulation by the media).
I can understand women wishing they were men, since men have had power over women and their bodies, and everything else, since at least 9 or 10 thousand years ago. Men had all the rights, could vote, make laws. Women used to be entrusted with control of money and land back in hunter gatherer times, because they stayed home with children and hearth and it made sense. But that was taken away when the Aryans came and Patriarchy was born with that conquest.
In Old Testament bible times, Women were considered Jezibels from the time of Eve. Was it coincidental that in Jesus's time and after, so many earlier versions of the Christian Bible were destroyed by the council of Nicea (in ROME - coincidence, or not?) We don't even have accurate versions of what Jesus and the disciples said back in those times. That was all destroyed. But more will be revealed again, as more tablets are being found from those times and much further back.
I have considered the crimes done against women throughout history, and still today - two of the worst come to mind for starters - rape, and female circumcision. 'Female circumcision' is a euphemism, a 'nice' way to say cutting off their clitorises so they will never feel pleasure of orgasm. This gory practice causes all kinds of terrible anatomical problems for women later, including painful sex, infection, difficulties in childbirth (if the little girl survives it) for the rest of her life. This barbaric practice - often done without any kind of anesthesia while other women hold the screaming girl child down- is done to LITTLE GIRLS so they can be sold off to older, even old, men - pedophiles - so for the rest of their lives, these girls and women are subject not only to rape and painful sex with pedos, but also to have to live with the fear and insecurity these men have that women would run off with someone else if they could feel pleasure - which is why the genital mutilation is done to girls in the first place. Is this not psychopathic?
What makes men think women would want a penis, or wear one as an amulet, if this is what happens to them with it? How many women want to be rapists - especially rape victims who are disbelieved or blamed for 'asking for it' - whatever that means - besides being in the wrong place at the wrong time with some sick asshole? Why would a woman want to wear a winged penis - does it protect her from the 'evil eye' of men's lust for her body and desire to completely control it against her will? Does a penis amulet protect a woman from crimes against them, girls, boys, even babies - done by the owners of penises?
Maybe there is a further or different hidden meaning to that flying penis amulet. ( I notice that it too is circumcised, another useless barbaric ritual done to boys and male babies.) If so, that is worth finding out.
Then there is the whole mask analysis and its many meanings. Lots of material here to work with besides the amulet comparison to flying penises - as to their purposes are or can be., depending.
Masks isolate us from each other. They hide our full faces, facial expressions, muffle language (almost as good as a muzzle!) They poison us with our own toxins breathed from behind them, deny us fresh air.
At times, though, masks can be useful. They protect the identities of protesters and resisters to tyrannical regimes - which could come in handy in social credit score times, maybe - though they probably have much of our DNA already. Masks can poke fun or ridicule a political figure, a hollywood icon, or some other such infamous person - or be used in a movement, such as the Anonymous movement.
There are 'visible' masks, which mark who will be obedient to the handlers or who are most afraid and can be manipulated, in pandemic times. Then there are the invisible masks - people's personas in society - a much murkier subject for another time., but one worth exploring. Thanks for the good read.

Great deep-dive into a rabbit hole!
While I avoided masking with a passion, I'll similarly avoid wearing a phallus for protection.

Did you hear the story about the American Bison decided it was now or never fox?
Did you know the wolves are most fond of the foxes and we watch day by day the foxes cross our paths? Did you know August is the month of Gusto?
