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!

Everything is beautiful, everything is tragic 🫠

We’ve all become transhuman, but now glitches are starting to appear, do you know what I mean?” As his recent AGGRODR1FT and Baby Invasion releases indicate – both are programmed like a first-person shooter – it’s that life is a game with an extended cast of main characters, side characters and NPCs. To win the game is to feed it coins or content with the hope of cashing out, AKA get boosted on the feed.” - this bit right there is what life in web3 feels like. You stop feeding the platform with enough content and coins, you end up becoming an irrelevant NPC. My personhood feels questioned sometimes.

it does feel like we're truly living everything everywhere all at once (⌒_⌒;)
