how do you explain the universal post-COVID time acceleration phenomenon? do you feel this way? why do you think that is? like how is it summer 2025? i understand time speeds up as you age, but this is something different—even the younger generations are experiencing it

People got locked inside on their phones/internet and started paying way more attention to the news cycle for the first time. Because there were way more people online there are way more collisions which means things appear to be going faster. COVID had 2nd and 3rd order consequences that created dramatic changes in the world and the way information flows, so much more of it started going online and that was definitely means there is simply more news happening on a daily basis.
