As long as the changes were being made to our memories, it was plausible to argue that this was some sort of hypnosis, something done by Retrospec to our brains. However:
1) The experiment to disconnect from electronics that may be affected by Retrospec returned no results. We still felt the effects while disconnected.
2) This "shrinking" and the holes in reality cannot be explained by hypnosis. They are very real.
At what point do we begin to question the fabric of reality itself?

But what is the alternative, really?

But we're almost getting into a distinction between reality, and the experiencing of reality. Our reality is no longer the same as everyone not on the application.

I would have assumed that the alterations were limited to perception until they made us tiny.

The worst among them being that none of this is real, but some sort of science fiction-esque simulation.
I would have said a month ago that that was impossible, but I would have said the same of being shrunk down to the size of an insect.

Certainly it's something we can't rule out. There's no evidence to disprove it.

Then again, what is real can be subjected to a person's own personal idea of reality.

The only reality we can be assured of is that we are a thinking individual.
All else must be suspect.
Admittedly I never had such an obvious reason to take the latter part literally.

Like how I forgot all about this for two months without trying or realizing.

The Retrospec app is either the cause or an inoculation. If the latter, then what is hypnotizing the populace at large?

I guess I've been questioning reality since this mess started.

In all sincerity, though, I would try to avoid the temptation of falling down the philosophical rabbit hole that is questioning one's own perception of reality. It is a very deep hole, and I have rarely seen anyone climb out of it with any new insight that was worth having made the trip. Though I suppose Boltzmann Brains are always good for a laugh.

I suppose it can't logically be ruled out.

Nya ha ha! Do tell - let me hear your theories on Retrospec's latest danse macabre. I have a few of my own, just waiting to be unleashed!

My questions are entirely based on logic and reason, not childish fancy.
I will humor you, though:
What are your theories?

It's time to admit that there just aren't easy explanations for some things. I mean, miracles're a thing, you know.

Perhaps it's a deity. Perhaps it's something else.
I am questioning the nature of reality, actually.
