My first book is close to completion. Join us on patreon as a free or paid member to stay up to date (and paid members will receive a free copy of the book) Many people today share this disorienting intuition: time feels faster, memories feel less stable, and the world itself seems cartoonishly chaotic or strangely unreal. While some interpret this sensation through speculative micro and macro ideas—such as quantum timeline fractures or distorted cultural echoes like the Mandela Effect—the more immediate explanation may be psychological rather than cosmological. A profound civilizational shift is underway, marked by the mass migration or shoehorning of daily life into virtual space. As sustained reading declines, screen time expands to most waking hours, and story immersion gives way to endless scrolling, the texture of lived experience is being fundamentally altered.
