Maybe it’s because I’m extremely slow to process things, but so many of the skits/songs are such a perfect encapsulation for the current age that we live in like damn. He sorta just walks through how we’re basically already “inside” to begin with, considering the fact that the internet is ubiquitous, we do everything from communicating with our parents to dating to consuming (Amazon speaks for itself). And at the end he basically talks about how we’re past the point of no return so the only thing left to do is consume more content. And like the fact that it was released just shortly after COVID when being “inside” was the least we could do to slow the effects of a pandemic (and to no avail).
How is that not all super underrated? The guy has had his finger on the pulse of the algorithmic age since his early/edgy days but I mean he really fucking nailed it.
It’s extremely bleak though because a lot of normies in my life are looking at this Information Age as the next step in evolution where people must adapt or be left behind. But idk man I kinda miss talking to people in real life and having some kind of connection with the physical world 
Gaaaaaaaa like I really fucking hate it. I don’t know anyone in my life who hasn’t met their partner on some sort of dating app and I truly think there was a way to establish some sort of balance
I hate living in a society fr

Burnham’s been pretty canny since a few years after he got big. I remember an early interview with him saying “Me telling you to dream big and do what I did is like a lottery winner telling you to play the lottery, I was just lucky and the chances aren’t in anyone’s favour”. I respected him since.
He did have his problematic phase or whatever but I hope that time period isn’t enough to discount all of his ideas completely. And that’s a bomb and fucking real quote
