I don't know about the joke format, but the ideology reminds me of the rationalist's version of Baudrillard's simulacra: https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/simulacrum-levels

At higher levels of simulacra, the statements people make are less about reality, and more about what they want people to believe they believe about reality.
