Like you’ve seen everything and now you can only experience things you’ve already experienced.
Not even close. Too many things to learn, too many things you can get good at, not enough time to do them all.
no but i feel like i’m being denied it.

I been traveling for a long time. The magic is gone, McDonald’s is global. All the woman try to look like Kim Kardashian. All the men wanna drive the same cars and wear the same designer clothes. They all peddle the same corporate constructed music. Everyone watches the same shit on Instagram/TikTok and goes and stands in lines to take a dumb ass selfie. Everyone speaks google translate. Now excuse me I need to google map a restaurant for dinner.
lol, you aren’t traveling to the right places or something, or I think more likely you’re depressed if you feel this way.
There have always been trends and conformity throughout human history. 🤷♂️
No. I’ve completed my personal bucket list though, so I’m never in a great rush to do things these days.
Quite the opposite. My two main hobbies are tabletop roleplaying and spending time in nature and both of those have an experience space that can’t be explored fully in one lifetime.
I’m often even confused when people seem to think they need to travel far to gain new experiences and I haven’t even fully explored the nature just outside of my apartment.
No. We’ve only scratched the surface of computer-aided collaboration. We could have a crowd thinking space with a consensus development environment, but instead progress has been opposed and we’re stuck with primitive wikis. My industry and career are standing still with extreme potential to improve humanity.

Nice try, AI
What percentage of people do you think on earth have the magic glass connecting them instantly with each other and their shitty lowest common denominator ideas? Of the people who don’t have the magic glass, I’d still wager they are all very similar: hunt, gather, shelter. So I will agree there are two archetypes. Magic glass slaves and people who only have time for survival. Tear the blindfold back face reality all humans are the same, or take the blue pill and wake up in your bed… Also you think a guy named alcoholic could be depressed lol in this world I’d imagine that is the correct state and perhaps we are over prescribed happy pills and pushed distractions to keep society fat dumb and “happy”.
People only with time for survival often have more spare time than magic glass people.
No, in fact I feel like I could be immortal and still never reach that point.
Yes I do feel like this. Sure there are things that I haven’t done, many involving money or skills that I don’t have.
But life feels like playing a video game that is procedurally generated. It’s minor variations of the same component things and sensations that I have felt before.
This is a brilliant description; the feeling OP has is probably on a way more abstract level than most of the comments here are thinking of.
I can’t even keep up with the movies and TV shows I want to watch.
Agreed, even if you limit yourself to major tentpole content its impossible to keep up.
But if you look at the uploads to major digital distribution platforms its incredible how much content is being produced:
- YouTube gets 500 hours of video uploaded per minute.
- Spotify has 60k tracks uploaded per day
- Kindle has 225k books published per month
- Steam has 50 games published per day
The opposite. I’m afraid I will waste my life procrastinating, not even being aware of what it has to offer.
Nope. Almost every day I learn something new.
Im no big on new experiences. I like being content. Like a cat. I could never tire of walks or biking or gardening or relaxing or having a hot bath or whatever. I am sad for this world and where its going and even more so that it is my kind. Humanity. Driving it there. Nature is beautiful and terrifying and amazing. I very much appreciate I got to experience this timespace and yet do not want to be of this world.
You are me. And I also like cats and dogs and have a nice flower garden.
Yes and no. There’s always new ways to experience things. I just saw a great concert last night. I knew all the songs, but the presentation changed. People are always creating.
i find life so unsatisfying that if, when i die, the afterlife has any resemblance AT ALL to this current reality, i am going to be fucking pissed.
like, any version of occupying a physical body in some sort of 3-dimensional space and surrounded by other physical beings is just, so… ugh.
i am over it.
Hood news. The afterlife is the same thing as the before life. Remember that? The 4 biillion odd years or so before you existed? Exactly.
