we who are about to post cringe salute you —

The paragraph about Google Glasses would make for a good Black Mirror style satire. Nailed it on the head there.

Agree with the point regarding people not bothering any more due to the outside chance of being stabbed. Seem to remember quite some months ago a guy on a train being stabbed in front of his child for something similar. Googled it and the same happened but yesterday…

I can but hope that the breakdown of public order and shocking levels of violent crime in current year is what people will look back on with fascination/horror in 100+ years, not This Trans Business or Just Stop Oil or any such fashionable ephemera.

Bang on analysis, and I think many of the BBC classes already have their vision filtered to only show what they beleive can exist.

They can't concieve of a world outside themselves. Eating in public is disgusting, remincent of hogs routing for roots and truffles. So much of traveling or living near a city is humiliating, being forced to occupy space with just mindless, walking stomachs. As someone who has Autism and Long Covid, with a slight case of PTSD from a listless, unhappy childhood, I constantl fantasize about seizing the power needed to end public eating.
