Yeeeaaahh, we really did turn a tool which was supposedly meant to enhance our performance in the real world into a world of its own, that's often mentally addictive and exploitative.

At the same time, the real world is properly fucked right now, where individuals are highly isolated from one another and there are financial barriers at every turn. I don't blame folks who get stuck in a spot where they only have people they want to interact with online.

I heard a cool theory that said basically: we're pretty well into our techno sci-fi future that we promised in scifi media and stuff. But what we didn't expect is that the techno future reuses the same architecture and building stuff from the 1970s, the only discernable difference is that there's a screen in every room and tech in everything and the real future is in that virtual world inside those that's completely invisible to someone from the 1970s
