Seriously, whenever I'm out in society it just seems like everyone is in some trance or under a spell or something. People are either blankly staring at their phones or they all seem not quite there. Sort of like NPCs in a video game or like dream characters. You know how you become lucid in a dream and suddenly the people around you seem just a bit "off" and not real.
Is that what is going on? Is this reality actually some big simulation that is no different from a dream except it keeps repeating endlessly until the whole thing finally ends one day?
Seriously, everyone and everything feels very strange now. Even more so than just a couple years ago. 5G or something???
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30671160 ohh yes. OP has it right. ive been trying to do the calculus too. i ask myself. “am i just getting old ?”. is it the smart phones and all the tech? the social media etc etc? a combination of it all and stuff like 5g ?? then I rationalize and say, i think it’s just me, that somewhere, some place , some pockets of society that i don’t see and i’m not invited too, aren’t like this. and i look and look and can’t find it. .. maybe it’s not like this in small towns ? maybe the part of the country i’m in? maybe just the USA. ? i don’t know. but it’s there. the kids have no idea that it was drastically different 15 years ago. — maybe we’re just getting old. whatever , it’s fucking weird to meI feel exactly the same way to all you wrote above, especially the last sentences. Hmmm I remember my old man talked of a time when there was no TV. Growing up, he noticed everyone glued to the "idiot box" as he called it. Before the TV, everyone had their face buried in book or novel. When I was not riding my bike or playing with friends, I read the whole Hardy Boys collection.
