I am thinking, here, about the Western elites.
That they are mad is clear, that they are en route to utter destruction I believe.
That is where the 'madness' comes in.
That 'the gods' wish to extirpate the Western elites seems obvious, and the reasons why are also obvious; but for the requisite irreversible annihilation certainly to happen requires that the elites become insane - not merely in losing their spontaneous sense of self-preservation, but actively willing self-annihilation.
Otherwise, sans lunacy, a sane elite would pull-back just enough to avert nemesis, and survive to wreak further havoc.
Since the gods want to ensure this does not happen, they first ensure that the elite are mad.
