Maybe. Or maybe it's because of increasing complexity of the system as a whole. Perhaps, it has something to do with digitalization of the world. It's like second layer of simulation which also needs separate processing power.

Yes, exactly!

Could be. There were a lot of shenanigans going on around the pokes. This was just one of them.

Yeah, except it quite possibly wasn't the same person. Tiffany that disappeared differs significantly from the one that reappeared.

Maybe they hoped that this will go away on its own and when it didn't they filmed this "reappearance"?

This is not the same. This is just "life is short" statement, which is true, but not quite what I meant.

Haha, not bad!

I think you're attributing too much importance to humans. The system has to process not only humans, but also weather, animals, various physical processes and such...

Besides, who's to tell at what age any human has the most potential to effect largest long-term effects? A child is very powerless, but when you have a bunch of 70 and 80 year old psychopaths deciding the future of the whole of humanity... well, that seems to me much, much larger long term risk than a chaotic child.

I think everyone is getting older. The zoomers are getting older too.

Well, when I was zoomer age, I did not feel any time speeding up. So there... Also, I imagine you could ask some boomers did they feel time is running like crazy when they were 30 and ask the same question people who are 30 now. Of course, answers will wary, but I'm quite certain that there will be much more 30 year old people now who feel that time isn't right than those who were 30 in, say, 80s or 90s.

...to be a plausible explanation for this...

I don't think this has anything to do with physics at all. Consider it a thought experiment of sorts. If we really are living in a simulation and time is speeding up on a systemic level, then internal logic of the simulation itself will not be impacted. Like in that game which runs in a ridiculously low framerate. The internal logic of it will still work. It'll be janky as hell, it will lag, but barring some very poor coding decisions (like tying some internal logic directly to framerate) it will all still work pretty much correctly.

Also, I did not state that I consider it to be rock solid explanation. However, I do feel strongly that time really is speeding up and it can't be explained simply by age or smartphone use. This is happening on some kind of a fundamental level.

Haha, poor me. Keep in mind, I'm not talking about general "time is short" or "the older you get, the less time you have left" tales. I agree, there are plenty of such stories, but that is not what I meant.

I do not know of any. Also, I was born way before 2000 and this time running fast was not a thing back then. Older people were the most slow living and not hurrying anywhere people on earth.

(Reposting my answer to other comment from this thread.)

(1) A lot of people of different generations are noticing time speeding up. Not just boomers, not just millenials... Every generation notices this. If it would be due to age, only boomers would notice this and, come to think of it, I've seen very few boomers talking about this.

(2) If it would be simply due to age, then we would hear the same from even older generations before 2015, which is absolutely not the case. Our grandparents and our grandgrandparents would talk about it, it would be written about in old books and so on. Actually, what we witness is completely opposite. Old age was considered a time of peace and calm and you won't find any of this time speeding up crap in there.

(3) If it would be only because of proportionality, then the very rate of time speeding up would actually slow down (because each year lived makes increasingly smaller part of your life) which, again, is not the case. Not only time itself is speeding up, but the acceleration rate is speeding up as well.

So, no, it is not due to age. I understand completely your proportionality argument, but I do not buy it. It is a kind of a low hanging fruit.

Nah, man... I don't need AI slop. Do you have an original thought? Or, perhaps, some original question? Go ahead. Otherwise I'm not really interested in conversing with AI.

The fundamental forces are diminishing over time.

Hmm, if we buy into the simulation argument, maybe it is due to increasing complexity? As the system becomes more and more complex, it starts to lag. At first it's barely noticeable, but the more it struggles to compute and process our reality, the more noticeable it becomes. Our reality becomes janky, a lot of events are being simulated simultaneously... the system looses its fluidity...

Easily.

I know about physics and gravitational time dilation. That is not what I'm talking about. Also, I'm not entirely sure that theory of relativity is not a total bullcrap, but that is a discussion for another time.

Besides, time is not slowing down. It is speeding up. And I'm not talking about long timespans in tens or hundreds of thousands of years (which would be required for gravitational time dilation to take place). I'm talking about very short timespan. About 10 years or so. Time is speeding up very noticeably since about 2015 or so. And no, it is not change of perception due to aging or because of phones and social media (as reddit bots are very quick to explain this phenomena).

This right here is one of the possible explanations of that. Which ties together very nicely with simulation theory and if we indeed are living in a simulation then obviously all of the physics are simulated as well which makes all your explanation kind of moot.

On a similar note, regardless whether we are indeed living in a simulation or not, I do kind of doubt that matter is even real. I do think that it is entirely possible that consciousness is primary and all the matter around us is being constructed (thought of) by that consciousness. Modern physics, of course, take a totally different approach stating that matter is primary and all consciousness is being created in the matter by shooting neurons back and forth in our brains or whatever.

Cash is the only payment technology that does not require permission from a third party to function.

This is the single sentence that everyone should understand.

Cope. Absolutely nothing of this sort will happen. Well, except all the shitty stuff that is already happening.

Absolutely nothing will happen. Nothing. Ask yourself: Why hasn't anyone brought to justice for covid crimes? Ah, forget about justice! Why hasn't anyone lost their job or their position over covid shitshow? Or even received any type of action for what they've done...

The answer to this, I think, is very simple. They are all in on it. It's just a bad cop good cop dog and pony show. Spectacle for the masses. In reality no one is being investigated, no one is being prosecuted. Behind the cameras they are not enemies. They are all probably having dinners together and patting each other on backs while stupid sheep keep believing that someone up there roots for them or their health.

Not really. Of course, it depends on particular type of mediation and how exactly you do it, but it is definitely not just a waste of time. It really does help to clear your mind. Also, if done correctly it might invoke some insights you'd never have in your usual state of mind. Not all benefits are obvious right away. Some of them might not reveal themselves during meditation, but only after it.

All in all, it really is not just staring at the wall. If you just stare at the wall and nothing else, then you do it incorrectly.

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. Mayybe, but I'm not so sure about that. The world, if you think about it, is a pretty uneventful place. All major events are being more or less orchestrated. In some cases outright faked. All to gain more power and control over the masses.

4. Yes. I do not really agree about sustainability though. I think it's because they simply do not need us anymore. Everything currently happening can be perfectly explained by it. Reduce population (through vaccines, wars, various crises or simply letting plebs die out in their tightly controlled 15 minute cities), enslave the rest. Simple as that.

5. Also, yes. I wouldn't be too surprised if it turns out that this is indeed a spiritual battle.

As for "why", that is a very good question. I do not really know...

One of the reasons could be that they are indeed humanity hating psychopaths. Just look at them - all those gateses, thiels, musks and all the rest of them. Just listen to them talk. They all hate humanity. They all can't wait for humanity to cease existing. Thiel was recently asked did he thinks that humanity has to survive. His hesitation to answer that simple and straightforward question was about a minute long and he still didn't answer with a definite "yes", so, basically the most likely truth is that Thiel does not want humanity to survive. He's just a bit afraid to say it out loud.

Other reason could be that we are being occupied by some kind of non-human intelligence. Aliens, beings from other dimensions, AI, demons... Admittedly, this one is a bit more far out, but I wouldn't completely rule it out either. There's definitely at least some possibility that They are not just some group of psychopathic elites, but something more than that.

Could be... and hence the remodeling of humanity to be more like an insect colony than actual human society.

At the end of the 4-year tribulation period, 95% of humanity will die out and only browns, blacks and literal children will remain.

And that would be the next reset. With new history, new lies, new social strucure and all the rest. Children won't remember anything from the old world and those that would remember something will be silenced.

I'm not sure if this is entirely a race thing though. Most probably they are destroying whites faster because whites are those that are most likely to resist. Not because of the race itself, but because of the culture and values. Once they are done with whites, other races are on the line as well.

You're right. However, I doubt that it is the end game itself. Civil war is just a means to achieve some other goals that lie beyond that.

You're right on that, but is this the very end goal? Or is there something beyond that?

Power for the power's sake. Could be. Great book, btw. I've read it at least three times or so. There are few great sections towards the end of the book which explain quite well current events and current power structure.
