In actuality the reasons for the way the internet is are quite different that what you think. Social atomisation occoured because of personalized social media feeds, which were created by companies to make users addicted to their platforms and get more ad revenue out of them, which made people only see what they wanted, and only want what they saw. This made people more unique than they realised but also more secluded than ever, as they now had nobody to share their "uniqueness" with, with certain exceptions of course. This was clearly an unplanned consequence for the rich since now they have a mental health and fertility epidemic on their hands instead of productive workers, but they won't just give up their profits for this, so they're trying all sorts of ways to cirmcumvent it, like immigration, outsourcing and AI, all of which have more drawbacks than not, which they'll realise in due time.
People by default segregate to their own kind, but they're almost all their own people, so they're alone. Of course this isn't as prevailent yet, since the majority of the population predates such social media, but it is what we're converging into.
>The internet went the way of the modern metropolis.
I'd rather say the modern metropolis went the way of the internet, as social media shaped peoples knowledge of the world, they grew distant and unrelateable to each other.

They really were a meme up til 1970. CBT changed the game though and for the first time there was real empirical evidence of therapies helping people. Now they can cure 12 DSM diagnoses.

Do you dream in first or third person? My dreams are only in third person and it sucks, I can't dream in first person.

anyone else here have PTSD induced hypervigilance? its an actual medical term called hypervigilance. i have it because i was beaten every day as a child, it was mandatory that i have one daily beating. they would pick something out of thin air as the reason for the beating, like "you missed mowing a single blade of grass in the yard!" (seriously this was one of the reasons, i mowed the yard and missed a single blade of grass). another beating was because i was eating a plate of peas and a baked potato with foil around it and after i thought i ate everything it turns out one single pea was under the foil so i got beaten. this made my mind believe it is crucial to my survival to hyper analyize all information i come across and permanently commit it to memory as well.

i'm that guy who walks the streets who you "think" is a "schizo meth head on drugs" and are afraid of. truth is im afraid of all of you, i think you're all going to beat the shit out of me at any time for no reason, because thats what happened to me for 12 years as a child. so im hyper paranoid around all of you.

Good morning. Another day, another terror to face. I hope I can have something for the next demo day. I don't see why 2 months isn't enough time.
