Internet is magic and it starts bleeding into real life, I think.
I watched it a long time ago and I remember the supernatural element and what is actually real confusing, maybe I was too small brained back then or maybe it was vague on purpose to make a point. This was really a whole trend of sci-fi back then, philosophical and with esoteric endings.

wasn't this just the same y2k paranoia from that time period? it probably doesn't mean anything now, but back then everyone was afraid of the internet because it was new and not widely understood. Like with what we do with ai now or whenever any new technology is invented.

sci-fi, apotheosis, merge of dimensions (physical and internet/subconscious)

I really don't understand what you faggots problem is. The show literally, and I mean LITERALLY, ACTIVELY goes out of its way to explain to the audience exactly what is happening.

You respond to it every single time. That's what the problem is. Bold of you to think OP is being genuine.

I know an old guy who doesn't have a computer, doesn't use the internet and he can barely interact with society. He doesn't exist. Various services can't handle his requests because everything at least requires an e-mail address. I try to get him things and the systems are not build to process a disconnected person.
The internet has descended upon our physical world and covered it like a veil, IRL and Online fought, Online won and IRL doesn't exist anymore.

most of the tiktok crowd who watch it either quit early because they find it boring or pretend to enjoy it and only talk about how "deep" and "psychological" it is. No nuanced discussion from any of them

I mean, there's levels between being extremely online and amish. There's plenty of normalfags who live their lives in meatspace and don't use social media without becoming digital hermits cutting off all means of communication but snail mail. At this point might as well say that phone or telegram destroyed IRL, and if you believe that fair, amish exist, but it's a much more far reaching claim.

Lain treats the fact the internet will generate a dissociation between your real life self and online self. It predicted the fact a lot of people would eventually live entirely within the internet and in a sense, the concept of living would become ambiguous. Our 2 personas could intereact with one another but both would evolve in 2 totally different realm and in the end if you succomb deep enough to it, your internet persona would take over your real persona and you'd live only through the prisma of the internet.
It takes heavy inspiration from Baudrillard simulacras and simulations.
Lain overall themes were proven correct by the very existence of this website where people willingly forfeit their real life to be schizos posting anime tits everyday for decades.
