>>13397949Modern life is being remade and it requires steps to get there. It feels fake because it is fake. Dystopia requires memories of a world-that-was to be possible, as well as eternal, outside observers, and such ideas are being erased quickly. The experiment has to avoid progressive Utopian perils. The mouse experiment already manifested in east Asia. What you're getting will be the tech equivalent of the God of the old testament. Happiness will be objectively defined as safety. Safety can only exist if the distant but constant threat of abstract danger hangs over your head every day. God will punish the non-compliant. There will be some who are able to adapt, who toil to keep God happy, who realise their dark thoughts represent a danger to their fellow Sovereign Citizens, and who happily spend the entirety of their allotment on services to keep them in check. Total employment for the converted, exile to the hinterland for the heretic. Much like God would intervene and smite the enemies of the Israelites, the mismatch between the faithful and the aggrieved will not be a close-run contest. So yes, life feels artificial. The goal of the experiment is to push you to produce children who will only know the artificial world, and for whom it won't feel artificial. None of us are living a life of consequence now. You need to either redefine your definition of fulfillment, or die. I'm well on the way towards the latter.
