From Robert Anton Wilson: “ under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. we have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. we have never seen a totally sane human being”

...you get a little older, and you realize everyone’s struggling in their own unique way, and trying to hide it. Social media distorts things even more. No one is living that perfect life you think they are. No one. Not a single one.

I worked for Facebook for a while and the only social media account I have left is Facebook, and only to keep in touch with my friends from Facebook. I deleted Instagram, I never used Tiktok or WhatsApp, I met my wife in real life.
