My point is, this thing that we have here is unprecedented in its vast size and it’s profound disconnection from reality.
So no, not just “a conversation”.
A conversation where most of the talk refers to fantasy. Where any insanity can find a support group filled with the likeminded. Where the greatest powers are those that seek to manipulate us and control our attention. A dreamworld where matter is entertainment.
And everybody takes it so seriously.
If it was a person we’d put him in an asylum.
Yes, what is this thing?
If this were a fantasy novel we might call it a hell-realm filled with hungry ghosts and succubi. Too much?

Ok thanks finally some insight on your thoughts. See how it gives better context than just saying “What is this” and gesticulating towards the internet. Your question was heavily influenced by prejudice.
Most of the talk does not refer to fantasy, that is a great example of some “unempirical evidence”. Some do, a lot don’t, you need to be able to filter that. Sure If you look for it, the worst will appear. But stop mindlessly reading what pops in front of you and make some active research and your worldview might change.
The rest is just you thinking out loud. Nobody takes everything so seriously all the time about every subject. Honestly I’m thinking you are falling for what you seem so concerned about. Look away from the endless stream sometimes. Search for your own source of news. Make your own change. The world certainly looks grim if we let rampant capitalism unleashed, but you are not proposing anything here. This here post is you disguising a rant into a question.

Ugh. Forget it.

What do you think then?
Or did you really only want someone to answer you “It’s hell”? You really read like an angsty teenager who just had it’s first joint and 101 philosophy class.

No man. I wanted something better than conventional, popular, obvious and literal.
