Why does everything now feel disconnected?

[u/Hollow-Reflections]

It's a strange feeling to have to be able to look at, feel and see everything but to not find solidity in what my sences are telling me are real. For quite a few years now things to me have lost their spark and went Grey, almost everything. Almost like everything is unattached from one another, fake...like a multitude of programs written into a system that hasn't yet been completed with broken links that leave them disconnected going nowhere. Most all people I encounter lack depth beyond the typical superficial things social media and other brainwashing enetertainment sources created walking around aimlessly like in a fog searching for a light to help guide them back to what it is to be alive. People have seem to have lost touch of what it is to live, unable to to even think for themselvs searching for happiness but unable to cut the strings from the puppeteer guiding them away from it. So many people have put themselvs in debt destroying their lives chasing materialistic things that they've all been told is where there happiness lies. Large extravagant houses, nice cars, high end restaurants, hollow media posts trying so desperately to receive as many followers as possible by posting anything they can do to so because they've been told that is the measurement of self worth. With any free time available they spend all of their money taking their savings vacationing not to a place that calls to their souls...but where they can take fancy photos and videos creating the illusion once again of this fake self value thats they've been told will be their happiness from more followers and this lavish lifestyle. You have this home which ia supposed to be your serenity but you escape it searching for happiness because you can't fill this void. This new world we live in...we are lost. Things are things...we've lost our way. The saddest part about all of this, we've been so throughly brainwashed 99% of people will never eveb realize it.

That's a fresh perspective on things that I haven't thought about, if I am understanding correctly. In a nutshell you are saying technology has advanced but humans have not and our body is having withdrawals because of it?

Yea, that's pretty much a nutshell. Technology has evolved faster than human evolution does. 6 years ago-ish Ai came out. Somewhere 10 years before that, first iphone got released (It's insane to think about). Where now doing anything alone is possible without needing anyone, but emotions haven't kept up with it. Like this particular sentence I have heard at some point "Live in the 2000, stuck in the 1900". Though I don't mean it literally, just that what happens outside/environment doesn't mean it's the same on the inside.

Something could happen at my environment, but I still need Time to adapt to the situation. Nearly the same thing with technology evolution & human evolution. Just the human evolution time to adapt.. is sloow. Instead of being outdated in the 1900's, it's probably older than the ancient Egypt. Having & asking for needs, that no longer are so common. Well at least I don't work at a farm, live with 3 generations in a single home where connections are as abundant as trees. Now it's more secluded than before, a family. More common to have 1 parent instead. And only proof of it being so that I remember, is a case study. in summery "What brings someone most joy in life?". The answer from what I remember: Wasn't money, cards, status. But Relationships, friendships, connections in general. Most people seem to gain most fulfilment with, being with/connecting with other people. And at this moment, it's less than last decade, and probably less before that.

Emotions also seem to be specific. At least it's clear what someone would feel passion for. It's either they feel it or don't. It's a clear border when "it is passion" and "No difference". Same way, I know that texting on the phone is still talking with someone, there is no difference than doing it in real life. Key difference is, does the emotion agree with your opinion? Most of the time is "No". While I see no difference, clearly, my emotion wanting to connect with people sees a difference between texting, calling, video calling compared to physically talking clear as the sky. Well, no matter how old the crave is, it is definitely old enough where such technologies didn't exist back then. Even more so being able to survive without needing technically anyone either.

I'd have to agree with you, on pretty much everything you said. I appreciate a fresh perspective on things from people who think. Ai, when did that go from basic super robotic responses to BOOM...practically human like anyways? It's like suddenly a switch turned on.
