Maybe it’s because I’m extremely slow to process things, but so many of the skits/songs are such a perfect encapsulation for the current age that we live in like damn. He sorta just walks through how we’re basically already “inside” to begin with, considering the fact that the internet is ubiquitous, we do everything from communicating with our parents to dating to consuming (Amazon speaks for itself). And at the end he basically talks about how we’re past the point of no return so the only thing left to do is consume more content. And like the fact that it was released just shortly after COVID when being “inside” was the least we could do to slow the effects of a pandemic (and to no avail).

How is that not all super underrated? The guy has had his finger on the pulse of the algorithmic age since his early/edgy days but I mean he really fucking nailed it.

It’s extremely bleak though because a lot of normies in my life are looking at this Information Age as the next step in evolution where people must adapt or be left behind. But idk man I kinda miss talking to people in real life and having some kind of connection with the physical world shrug-outta-hecks

Gaaaaaaaa like I really fucking hate it. I don’t know anyone in my life who hasn’t met their partner on some sort of dating app and I truly think there was a way to establish some sort of balance

I hate living in a society fr

    I'm totally happy being left behind. I listen to 50 year old music, I watch shows and movies from when I was a teen, and I still love wandering the woods alone or with my wife and collecting rocks, foraging, smoking a Doobie...

    I could spend the rest of my life in the woods with just my wife and a cat.

      It’s scientifically proven: https://neurosciencenews.com/music-youth-17765/amp/

      Personally, I try not to fall into that nostalgia trap because i like to keep new neurons being created/connected and enjoy variety/exploration, but i do get the warm fuzzies listening to music from my teenage/early 20s time of life. Enjoy the woods!!

      I watched the video linked below and kinda didn’t love it. Maybe I need to rewatch but it looks like that creator’s adopting the “adapt or be replaced” level of thinking, though it seems they mean well.
