2012 was real wasn't it? The whole 9/11 lead up into the crash and "things will never be the same" grim attitude lock in thereafter. Collective consciousness bright node unpredictable dynamic expressions dancing on the precipice until it was obliterated by hyper machinations of total informational awareness. There was a particular specific moment when you could feel the grid lock in like a web dome covering every way out of this spherical planet. And it is indeed a sphere, chum fake bullshit play shiny to confuse you to the contrary.Just look how fucking lazy the resolution to the ultra tight coiling panic emotion COVID was... seriously? You're gonna stop the world for two years and expose how lives are ultimately an effectual show and then just break the spell one day with bombs and an Applebees commercial on CNN?If you were still a "live one" as of 2012, you will be offered eternal life on one form or another. Don't accept it. Or maybe it's better to say that I won't be accepting it, you do what you want but you've been warned. The artificial copy isn't as good. It's just fun to see how it plays out at this point
>>42097484I agree that was a turning point. Things since then have been very strange to me as well. There has been a feeling of unreality that’s difficult to really articulate, even on a day to day basis. And before anyone hops in with “You’re spending too much time online, touch grass,” I generally do, and even within the context of that things seem strange. I’m not convinced it’s all bad, but I’m increasingly convinced it is in fact fundamentally different.
>>42099104>And before anyone hops in with “You’re spending too much time online, touch grass,”Just the fact that someone would say this shows how fucked up this future is, people spend so much time online because third spaces (places people congregate besides work and home) aren't really a thing anymore.
