      I feel like there’s a crazy number of people who have disassociated from clear pictures of what reality is. Like most of the people who keep talking about “this timeline”, as if this is just some story that is happening to someone else.

        I’ve always taken the “timeline” stuff to be a reference to multiverse theory, a metaphysical concept which suggests that the universe exists on an infinite number of parallel realities which can be split, merged and maybe even jumped between.

        I’m often guilty of giving the benefit of the doubt by default though, so you may be right and those people’s brains are just cooked.

        This is an interesting thought.

        Being chronically online does kind of break your perception reality doesn’t it?
