A beautifully sad sentiment. This was the zenith, the height of white success and human happiness before, piece by piece, war by war, device by device, they took it from us and turned the vast majority of people into wage slaves and consumer cows.

I wonder about this, especially now because of COVidiot communists everywhere. I was born late 70's and so I got to experience the birth of technology that kids today can't get away from and live through. It's said that something like 70% or more of us live our entire lives online? Amazingly depressing. I honestly do wonder how much of reality is actually just an illusion and if so, how easily manipulatable it is by unknown actors towards unsuspecting recipients? If matter is nothing but 99.99999% nothingness and vibratory energy to boot, something that can effect this field would essentially affect all of reality. What if we've passed that point?

Then there's the logical "We live in the Matrix" theory. If we get sufficiently advanced, the likelihood of us being in a virtual world or simulation exponentially increases. This is evident by the fact that technology appears to have reached a peak - go back 15 or so years and not much has changed with the exception that tech got smaller, but if you go back 30, the tech was almost revolutionary - paradigm shifting.
