Socialism doesn’t just seem like a good idea, it’s pretty much the only possible future that doesn’t end up with 99% of humanity suffering horribly.

The idea of everyone being able to work to make the means to survive has a rapidly approaching shelf life, most companies won’t employ humans over whatever tech is on the horizon as soon as it’s cheaper. The areas that remain habitable due to climate change will shrink

I do not know why this isn’t treated as a more pressing issue

Honestly, sometimes yes.

I genuinely can’t understand ‘peoples’ need to hate on each other. All the time.

But I feel like the tin foil hat wearing loony when I share this sentiment with most people.

I only recenlty learned I have had undiagnosed autism my whole life (in my thirties now), and being able to recontextualise that I literally did have an - on average - different way of experiencing reality, with some filters missing, some intuitive normalities just not developing, and my brain focusing in a different way, that’s helping me a whole lot. Finally I don’t have to gaslight myself into thinking I am just lacking will and strength of character to fit into this world, as that’s what my socialisation had been instilling into me.

With having been obsessed with history and philosophy from a young age, I am also often not able to understand that the vast majority of people actually lives in a world where those things are at best superficially engaged with. Personally, at least at this moment of time, I think that is genuinely dangerous, because, oh boy, looking at the current material situation of the world and taking historical situations to estimate the possible consequences, things are not looking good. I firmly believe we need a globalised, socialist/communist mode of production and more short term, an international political infrastructure to organise the challenges ahead, but I fear it will only come about after things will be getting worse for quite some time, still.

Do most people live in a room chained to a bed and toilet, being gang banged by large women and doom scrolling Lemmy?

Even when I’m by myself, I often get the feeling like I’m in a “bubble,” and everything I’m looking at outside of myself is some other reality different from my own. It’s not a positive or a negative feeling, just kind of weird.

So to answer your question: Yes.

I see a lot of people have big meta thoughts and feelings. But mine is relatively small. I find that I live in a different reality since a lot of co-experienced events are remembered differently by the others. Let’s say a work meeting, when I think that it was a nice calm and friendly meetig others are heated and steaming by all the insults. The same with emails and other communications Also with a sportmatches. For instance when I really enjoyed a match and thought both teams did a nice job of performing, the media paints a vastly different picture where one team was really awful and performed well belowed standards.

So my perception of reality seems really of from the rest of the population.

Being ND, yeah. Especially when one of the things common with what’s different with me is that I often make weird associations that no one else sees.

Yes, we live in a world were many serious people with serious credetrials can’t see lasting. and people go to a Taylor Swift concert or a Football game

I am a stranger in a strange land

Yes because I can’t comprehend how anyone else think or feel. I can empathize, but I cannot fully understand how they think or feel because I transpose my thoughts and feelings to what others perceive and think.

I am stuck in my head with my thinking and my feelings, but I will never know what it feels to not be me.

I’m fine with that, but it boggles my mind sometimes.

A conspiracy is a plan carried out by a group, usually clandestinely and usually to the detriment of others, and they are very common (fake electors scheme, Northwoods, sea spray).

But most people “don’t believe” in conspiracies, which means they 1) don’t believe in people making plans and carrying them out, and they 2) don’t believe in objective, historical fact.

To live in the world and refuse to acknowledge how it operates and how other people operate must be very confusing.

Only when I smoke crack…

I didn’t but then they killed harambe and now its like I fell through a crack in reality and entered a shitty distopian novel.

Yes. Everyone lives in the same objective reality of course but everyone experiences a unique subjective reality. Everyone has specific thoughts and feelings that nobody else has ever had. Some people are more unique than others depending on their age, environment, and life choices.

Following on from the previous person’s travelling lifestyle and only working when they want to work, and work on things that they want to, I have children young children which makes it a little more difficult. However, there have been times in my life when I’ve just packed up, jumped in my vehicle and driven wherever. It’s very liberating.

This type of thinking may come from my near death accident 23 years ago or maybe it’s a personal trait that I’ve always had, don’t know. Personally speaking, believing in the system that’s presented to us from a very young age is not healthy for society or yourself, sometimes you just need to embrace the fear of uncertainty and go for it.

No, and if that is a powerful feeling (not “I’m autistic and see things differently”, but “normal reality does not apply to me” somehow) then it might be something to check out with a medical professional.
