Not only will not get better but it will get worse once VR, augmented reality and brain-computer interfaces reach mass adoption.
Apr 6, 2022Listened to an interview with a veteran music photographer who said his goal is to leave his house and not have his phone but nigh impossible. When I was in hs I came across the tumblr of a brown university student who I liked certain things about n one thing I tried to swag jack was the no phone when I leave the house. It was def wavy for a while and honestly I felt way more present. Now I’m not sure how I would navigate certain aspects of life without it and u need it to be responsible if ur about to be out n about.
So half of it is that our phone are connected to the Internet. I suppose u could really remove that. N then maybe feel aight?

nonviolenceWriter, academic, and philosopher, Jean Baudrillard, speaks of a phenomenon that specifically affects technologically advanced postmodern societies (The West; Europe included, but mainly, USA).
Hyperreality is seen as a condition in which what is real and what is fiction are seamlessly blended together so that there is no clear distinction between where one ends and the other begins.
Academics and writers who contribute to hyperreality theory state that corporations and tech giants have financial incentive to create a false reality that is to be consumed as if it were real.
Social media has become the dominant reality. Social media and digital representations used to mimic life. Life now mimics social media.
The dangers of hyperreality are also facilitated by information technologies, which provide tools to dominant powers that seek to encourage it to drive consumption and materialism.
Hyperreality tricks consciousness into detaching from any real emotional engagement, instead opting for artificial simulation, and endless reproductions of fundamentally empty appearance.
Can things get better? or is it too late for America?
Dam this is super interesting and crazy - I was listening to this video by Terence McKenna earlier and he kinda touches on this subject.. especially since this was in the 90s and before the real takeover of the cyber…
He talks about it at 1:55:00 to 1:58:00 if you’re interested..
