Among the weaker South Park gags is “reality” personified as a cartoon villain who crashes the party with unpalatable truths the people are trying to escape, in the end they execute him. It’s a little too straight. How would you rewrite this character?

As an equanimous character that does not remember/care about the past and does not know anything about the future

Huh that’s a very good suggestion. It’s very close to Mr. Dick in David Copperfield, who plays exactly that role (he’s mentally disabled but keeps everybody grounded in reality).

this is interesting cause my first thought was someone on the spectrum but that felt limiting in some ways.
