Maybe it’s because I’m extremely slow to process things, but so many of the skits/songs are such a perfect encapsulation for the current age that we live in like damn. He sorta just walks through how we’re basically already “inside” to begin with, considering the fact that the internet is ubiquitous, we do everything from communicating with our parents to dating to consuming (Amazon speaks for itself). And at the end he basically talks about how we’re past the point of no return so the only thing left to do is consume more content. And like the fact that it was released just shortly after COVID when being “inside” was the least we could do to slow the effects of a pandemic (and to no avail).

How is that not all super underrated? The guy has had his finger on the pulse of the algorithmic age since his early/edgy days but I mean he really fucking nailed it.

It’s extremely bleak though because a lot of normies in my life are looking at this Information Age as the next step in evolution where people must adapt or be left behind. But idk man I kinda miss talking to people in real life and having some kind of connection with the physical world shrug-outta-hecks

Gaaaaaaaa like I really fucking hate it. I don’t know anyone in my life who hasn’t met their partner on some sort of dating app and I truly think there was a way to establish some sort of balance

I hate living in a society fr

    I mean sure he’s rich, but don’t you think it’s odd how most communists/leftists invalidate what rich people have to say about real issues right off the bat because they’re not Engels lol
