Too many elements of our current reality are now too off to ignore.
They simply don't fit.
If I had to describe it, it feels like some weird AI-generated counterfeit version of our reality from 6 years ago.
I don't necessarily think that's what it is but that's the feeling it has.
It feels counterfeit.
- Counterfeit Internet posts, comments and replies everywhere
- Counterfeit government & business behavior
- Counterfeit movies & TV shows
- Counterfeit doctors & veterinarians
- Counterfeit news stories & revelations
- Counterfeit celebrity drama
- Counterfeit websites & search engine results
- Counterfeit retail inventory and pricing
- Counterfeit life crises
- Counterfeit IRL human behavior & responses
- Counterfeit 'freedom defenders' & 'truth tellers'
- Counterfeit technology advancements & lack thereof
The list goes on and on.
It's hard to put into words.
Counterfeit and alt-reality are the terms that keep coming to mind.
To be clear, it doesn't feel like everything in reality is falling apart or changing.
It feels like... a counterfeit reality, starting 4-6 years ago.
Modernity is based on imitation of reality, and substitution of real with fake value. This is really the core concept.
Once rich people used to dress linen or silk, they are better for the skin -> real advantage. Now? Rich people buy overpriced branded cotton -> fake value.
Once generals used to eat meat and fruit, and slaves had potatoes and rice generating health problems (like scurvy on ships), real incentive to move up. Now? The poor eats better than the rich if he knows how. The rich is entangled often in a progressive ideology that won't let him eat naturally.
Once the rich used to invest their wealth into long lasting properties, like almost eternal furniture they could pass down 20 generations. Now they invest into fast-changing digital values that may crash and burn anyday, or in high tech that will be trash in some years.
Your observations are very accurate. I appreciate your perspective.
Thanks!
