Very true, 1984 Vibes

   Really? 1984 is overrated, it's comparable to apocalypticism every civilization entertains.

Man I remember a feeling of insane optimism when I was a kid in the early 2000's. I was so hopeful of all the cool technology that could happen and seeing where it would take society.

Fast forward 20 years later I'm extraordinarily underwhelmed by what has developed. It all seems so bleak and depressing - Social media, alternative news, online dating, filters, AI deepfakes, toxic marketing, etc......

It seems like we fucked everything up big time and our technology ended up being awful for us. People are more depressed, lonely, delusional, violent, and unhappy than ever.

The idea of being "online" in the 21st century seems like a fast track to get corrupted and twisted by human bullshit, and a way of life that is antithetical to being fulfilled. Every day I get closer to wanting to abandon all this and live in a cabin in the woods off the grid.

@Roy I can totally relate. I have a similar story. 

I was a naive kid at the time, thinking that 'Technology is what separates humans from animals. In fact, technology is what separates first-world countries from third-world countries, the rich from the poor. So, more technology = more progress!' 

The reality is that in an unconscious world, we will use technology to create more and more separation. And, that is a more important problem to solve. 

   Sounds like you both were geeks or nerds when you were kids. When I was a kid, I spent time playing chess, video games, drawing, and making my own pillows. Also a bit on DnD, and imagining other worlds and people to interact with, and sometimes to hump on. That's the reality of most children, the world and others are magical, and they feel good when touched the right ways, mentally speaking.
