    Sometimes I get a moment where it feels like my senses clear up or something and everything looks different and then it fades away and it feels normal again.

        I’ve always imagined it as closer to what “normal” would be like under more “ideal” living conditions, or being in a better rhythm with my environment or something

    That sudden realization that there is no playbook, and everyone is just making it up as they go.

    I’m convinced that the sudden popularity of conspiracy theories are actually people who badly need there to be something in control of it all, even if it’s malevolent. That’s somehow more comforting than actually staring down the void.

      Bro conspiracy theories make a lot of sense… not because there is a master plan but so many people hear so many different things that if there is a real master plan no one has the details exactly right.

      Like shit I’ve worked in a ton of offices and I can’t tell you what anyone was working on or what those offices even did.

      I personally like the void. It makes me realise that life is so meaningless that I may as well take piss out of everything. Obviously this doesn’t work out well for me at work or in relationships or in finances or health or any normal metric of success but that’s the beauty of it, who cares? All that stuff can suck my nuts

    Kind of off topic but you and Stamets post SO MUCH STUFF that I’m starting to wonder if ya’all are really just one person on the account and where you guys source content…

    Just do what I do! Have a dissociative disorder and spend significant amounts of time derealizing to the point where dreams and whatever this is feel equally not like reality! Boldly go through life with no sense of chronological order to your memories and be like ‘I guess when I’m in this maybe reality I’m more sad if I fuck up so I should be more careful about my choices than when I’m in dream reality’

    Reminds me of the word sonder

    n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

    While you sit upon a constructed object within woven fabrics, both the realizations of imaginations; the one supporting you, the one enveloping you, how can you be certain where what is imagined ends and real begins?

    Damn, reality is only limited by my imagination, and everything I hope to accomplish can be accomplished as long as I am motivated enough to put on the work?

      4/10 the devs treat it like abandonware. I mean it was like 2000 years ago we got promised a kingdom of heaven upgrade and here I am.

      Also the devs are really bigoted and have been posting weird shit in their product updates. I don’t like it.
