Am I the only one who thinks the whole world is absolutely crazy right now? Like, in general, nothing seems to make sense anymore. When did I get transported into a parallel reality? I think it was 5 years ago after that LSD trip. Ever since then, things are getting increasingly weird

Here's a thought exercise: treat every news article that talks about "proposal" or "suggestion" as a low-quality personal blog. Or even better: treat everything on the Internet as false and trust only what you have seen in real life.
The world becomes more clear when you realise that flat earthers don't really exist.
Why the whole world? Humanity ain't homogeneous.
Perhaps you might benefit from changing your bubble (or echo chamber).

Or for a more drastic step, consider moving to a place that's more aligned with what you like.
