I guess it took me a very long time to learn that there are people who are absolutely glued to instagram and TikTok the way I am to everything on my phone in general. I also started thinking about how all of the people I’ve met since my junior year of college (2020) have been people I only knew online, then I transitioned to work which is completely online, and here I am, still meeting more people online through dating apps, discord, instagram, and TikTok. I truly can’t grasp the absurdity of it all, I am living a cyberpunk reality (and I know I’m not the only one).
For the longest time, I thought to myself “Nah everyone else still goes out and meets people, I’m one of the weird ones.” But then I went outside. And I saw people doing what I’m doing right now in the comfort of my own home.
Makes total and complete sense why billionaires invested so highly in crypto and the metaverse. It’s actually another form of class war but applied to the digital realm 🙃
How much longer until we can consider technology, which should’ve been nothing other than a tool, as the new opiate of the masses
I'm gonna be honest with you, out of those three I am only familiar with Evangelion.
"Vampire Hunter D" is a moderately decent "classic"... a little bit "yikes" on the subject of a teenage coded girl being one of the main characters but otherwise okay. Sort of a what if Vampires ruled the earth in the far future. There's ghosts and demons and magic but there's also technology like laser guns, cybernetic/robotic horses, spaceships.
"Robot Carnival" is a "movie" that is like three or four completely different anime short movies. All different tones and subjects, some of them were artsy fartsy and some were just standard anime fare.
