Yeah, it's definitely a strange and thought-provoking observation. The way technology and our interactions with it have evolved is both fascinating and, as you mentioned, somewhat dystopian. It's interesting how individuals can find solace or even satisfaction in virtual experiences, like the guy you mentioned playing a hentai game. While it might seem unusual or even creepy to some, it's important to remember that people have diverse ways of seeking gratification and fulfillment.

But what really catches my attention is your comparison to the increasing presence of bots on social media. It's true that many people may be unknowingly interacting with automated accounts, which can create a sense of artificial social interaction. This reliance on social media for fulfilling our social needs can have unintended consequences, potentially leaving individuals feeling lonelier or sadder.

Your reference to "Idiocracy" and the analogy with Brawndo is quite apt. It's almost like we're substituting genuine human connection with a diluted and artificial version, and then wondering why we're not getting the same level of fulfillment or nourishment. It's certainly a complex issue that raises questions about the impact of technology on our social fabric.
