it’s impossible to fully comprehend unless you’re under 25 and have been addicted to the internet for your entire life that everyone under 25 is terminally addicted to the internet and has been for their entire life. this is extremely bearish for society and extremely bullish for internet assets and long tail risk. we know we will never be able to buy a house or live comfortably without some hypergambling and luck. it’s not a meme. society right now has many parallels to late stage empires (i went outside this weekend and im under 25 so im qualified to speak on this) but just like bull markets the most money is made at the end. you kind of can’t stop the trend no matter what you do so might as well make a lot of money and have some fun

i spent way too much on a table at the club on a friday night in la. not packed. everyone on their phone the entire time. zero energy. outside is a ghost town. all the unc complaining about how awesome this place used to be < 10 years ago

i say under 25 because it’s the first generation that has lived their entire life online. i got my first game boy when i was like 5. i had an ipod when i was 7 or 8. my first friend to get an iphone 4s happened when i was in 4th grade. my first girlfriend was from dming baddies on ig i don’t know what life is without the internet i also say this with deep optimism and belief that i live in the best generation ever

something to be said for tabbing in as hard as humanly possible so you can afford to tab out completely when shit gets really weird

if you don’t believe me try to find a girlfriend in 2025 that is under 25
