On one hand, I am terrified a lot. On the other hand there are a tuckfun of real life current event examples of how the outside world really is a cyberpunk dystopia, including my nation shambling towards one-party, theocratic white-ethnocentric autocracy. And I’m high on the undesirables list.
So as much as I’d like to say my anxiety and paranoia are lying hoes, the preponderance of dark patterns and economic statistics seem to confirm what they are telling me.
