The actual reality of humanity. Everything we do is fucking weird if you overthink it, and I constanly have a feeling of surrealness when focused on the real world around me instead of lost in my own thoughts. Reality is too real to be real.
I dissociate a lot so that's probably why.
Imagine like.. a fully transparent bus full of people, just a bunch of people sitting on nothing in a group flying through the air. If that was normal, that would be... normal. We wouldn't question it, we'd just be so cool with that happening.
And that's the exact feeling I get a lot throughout my day.
Yes! Someone gets it! 🥹
Hi - are you me? I’ve been so deep down this rabbit hole lately, regularly having little existential crises.
In my opinion, nothing should exist. But at the same time, nothing shouldn’t exist - because nothing is still something. The fact that we are here is both baffling and eerie.
My other hot take has been that this moment right now could be the only moment. Who’s to say that anything has ever happened? If we give context to an LLM, doesn’t that determine its reality? The more I research neural networks, the more it feels like the ‘big bag’ is more akin to flipping on the CPU, processing at the speed of light. But even then - if our existence isn’t real, whatever is beyond us is still something, which still shouldn’t exist.
It’s all very weird - makes me feel like nothing matters, but also that the only things which matter are the things that I make matter. And I’m just having this human experience. Very weird. Would not recommend.
