I’ve been seeing so many variations of “nothing is real” on my timeline recently.

Some of it is earnest, like recognizing how your thoughts control your actions but your thoughts aren’t you (not real) so you can ignore them 

Some of it is playful, like what if we are in an AI simulation

As individual comments there is nothing wrong with them.

Taken together, there is some deep sadness to thinking nothing is real. 

This one precious life we have on earth is real. Love is real. Laughter is real. Each breath that fills our bodies with oxygen is real. Whatever you are feeling right now is real.

when you hear stories about the beginnings of the internet, early social platforms, multiplayer games, etc, you hear about how often the digital world is just as real if not more real to many. have experienced this myself. 

it's strange to witness and feel that changing. there's a tension between wanting to change that and wanting to escape it. technology is inevitable, so escaping it doesn't truly feel like an option. idk!

growing up in the 20s and 30s is going to be insanity

Real. 
And I think we’re still in the early innings of the internet - can’t even imagine how humans will evolve with the internet over the course of several hundred years!
