Are we headed for a parody inversion or a caricature convergence?

On October 2, 2019 there was a Dilbert comic strip titled Parody Inversion Point in which Dilbert said:

“According to my algorithm, we are heading toward a parody inversion point. That happens when reality becomes so absurd that it is indistinguishable from parody.”

Scott Adams apparently forgot to check a dictionary before putting out that strip. Those are not good word choices. Merriam-Webster says parody means:

“A literary of musical work in which the style of an author or work is closely imitated for comic effect or in ridicule OR A feeble or ridiculous imitation”

Inversion means:

“A reversal of position, order, form, or relationship.”

Can reality get more absurd than parody (as shown above by a dotted line)? I don’t think it can. 

Caricature convergence would be a better phrase since caricature means:

“Exaggeration by means of often ludicrous distortion of parts or characteristics.”

Convergence means:

“the act of converging and especially moving toward union or uniformity.”
