Don't bother the techs. Seriously, don't. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but all I'm getting is that it's the equivalent of being hacked and someone who knows layer theory better than we do is out there screwing things up and tampering with the project.

nope, not sure. Retrospec manages the things we receive from our memories, so this isn’t looking good for us overall.

but at leas we have some semblance of free will.

...what if that's just what they want us to think???
what if we're really not in control of our own decisions??

i don't like this at all!!!

[maskreant]

like our decisions are just programmed based on files that make up our personality? it’s plausible. technology is coming far and AIs are the future.

maybe we’re in that future.

in all seriousness, breathe in. breathe out. everything’s going to be okay.

you're not really helping!!!!

normally i just try not to think about it and that makes it better
but it's hard when people keep talking about it and stuff

[maskreant]

it's something we can't just ignore anymore. you can say we've reached the point of no return, so don't turn your eyes away and cover your ears.

we'll make it through this, though.

i dunno... i think you're underestimating my ability to ignore things!!!
i can do it a lot
just watch me

[maskreant]

you know using this app is acknowledging it in a way.

but i’m watching.

[penalizing]

i can just use it like any other social media site, you know!!!
i'm just ignoring the world-falling-apart bits
