Loki created the cosmos last thursday, and he gave everything, including human memories, the appearance of old age. For a human to do a conspiracy of that magnitude would surely be impossible, but an all powerful malevolent trickster god? Childs play. Remember, this is just hypothetical. I am not trying to convince anyone this is real or anything. Its just a mental exercise of sorts with lots of examples from reality tossed in. This is the trump. Its the greatest conspiracy of all time. Are we being duped by an all powerful trickster god? I think it makes for great fiction.
It sounds like a pretty elaborate scheme for an omnicient, omnipotent being to go through just to dupe one particular species of primates eking out a living on mote of dust, orbiting a forgotten star, in the arm of an ordinary galaxy in a remote corner of a super-cluster hurling through an almost infinite universe.
If your premise is correct, we are sooo fucked anyway so you may as well enjoy whatever life you can, and ignore this Loki dude.
