Smart, creative, high agency people are feeling deeply unmoored. They can see and feel emergent patterns before others do. This piece I wrote three months ago may help explain what you’re experiencing.

The good news: if AI is better than you at everything, you’ll have more time to sleep and exercise.

@cremieuxrecueil Cool finding. Aligns with what I've personally experienced over the past few years. Timing matters on nearly every therapy and intervention.

@brian_armstrong @newlimit Brian does the number go any lower cuz I'm already under 25

@GRITCULT This is demonstrably false. The flight logs are public records and I am not in them. Leaving this up after being notified creates a record of actual malice. Delete immediately.

@MadTitan666 I think this feeling is very common. People want to eject out of the system. To escape. Playing is no longer fun or worth the effort.

@Based_Vtuber This is accurate. There has been mass societal trust destruction with few things offering repair. Putting people in a heightened state of constant skepticism and distrust.

@mxltn1 There is a lot of truth to this. Culture tells us that unless you're performative 24/7, you are less valuable to the tribe. Burning people out.

The majority of people around me are feeling pretty stressed about life/existence. How are you feeling and what's causing you distress?

If you're feeling existentially stressed, here are a few things you can do to reset yourself:

1. Submerge face in 50°F (10°C) water for 30 sec

2. 30 rapid deep breaths followed by physiological sigh (double inhale, long exhale)

3. High intensity, slow motion resistance
