Very Internet Person

"Want to match my freak? Reality shift into another dimension? Schizo-post your way to internet-sanctioned brainwashing? Nowadays, it’s not a matter of what exists, but what you choose to exist as. A recent report suggests that Gen Z don’t bother to fact-check information they see online, instead choosing to believe what like-minded peers or trusted influencers say – basically, what they see as important. Plugged into our personal psy-opticons we create our own mental maps to justify our own narratives, like Terrance McKenna’s ‘self-transforming’ machine elves on a DMT trip. It’s not a cosmic jump, then, to feel like everything is a psyop, everyone is a crisis actor."

kind of a depressing but accurate essay about our increasingly hypersimulated "realities". enjoy!
