What percentage of people do you think on earth have the magic glass connecting them instantly with each other and their shitty lowest common denominator ideas? Of the people who don't have the magic glass, I'd still wager they are all very similar: hunt, gather, shelter. So I will agree there are two archetypes. Magic glass slaves and people who only have time for survival. Tear the blindfold back face reality all humans are the same, or take the blue pill and wake up in your bed... Also you think a guy named alcoholic could be depressed lol in this world I'd imagine that is the correct state and perhaps we are over prescribed happy pills and pushed distractions to keep society fat dumb and "happy".

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

People only with time for survival often have more spare time than magic glass people.
Idk buddy I never seen a fat survival person, I think that is a harder life than you think. Just because they have to rest doesn't means it's relaxing.
Get into folkloristics, it's pretty fun. You can get into all the Slenderman stuff because it's literally untapped mystery you can't just rely on secondhand sources, all the research is centered on one controversy that somehow killed his popularity but not every other religion. My "job" (it's a hobby) is basically having to read the hundreds of all the Slenderman blog ARGs ranging from 2009 to the present day, as well as all the freaking Slenderman and Creepypasta comics. It's just interesting how religious patterns emerge out of something spontaneously created on the internet, like Zalgo vs Slenderman having parallels with every other religion with "divine rivalry". Interesting anthropological subject.

A card game is still a card game. Slight variation on the rules doesn't make it dynamical better or new and exciting. I suppose if your easily amused "look this king has a sword that he is cutting his head off with. " "It used to be an axe you know." And I found a profound amount of joy in that.
That is impossible. There are more unique experiences than one can have in their lifetime. Getting a bachelors, meaning really surface level understanding in one topic takes three full time years. If you actually had nothing else to do, you could do that for maybe 15 topics. And that's just learning. What about sports, music, traveling and the endless other human activities.

My guess is that you have significantly exhausted the extent of your interests and common interactions. It happens.
That's to say, for example, you've read, seen, discussed, etc. almost every sci-fi series in existence. There's some you haven't interacted with but you would have hit the new ones and all the significant older ones. In which case there's really nothing left for you to consume besides minutiae/very small things (you ran the well dry).
The same can said for interactions with people. You're having the same conversations you've had before. Sure some of the specific details change but the core remains the same.
If this at all sounds right, I'd suggest expanding your interests and social circle. For interests, I'd suggest something close to your current interests and look up the highest rated components of that interest to look into. Using the Sci-fi example, fantasy may be a good place to look and Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Mistborn, etc. maybe be good places to start.
For people, expanding your social cycle can be tough. If you haven't already you can try and pair an interest of yours with a group that focuses on that. Example could be RPG gaming and joining a Table Top RPG group. Another option is taking classes in a new interest. You'll likely meet new people with a similar interest as you. Another option is volunteering. There's lots of organizations or mutual aid societies out there that would welcome additional members. That'll give you new people to talk to while helping others (win-win).
Regardless, best of luck with everything :)
