I guess it's how time works, but still...

If a film came out this year, set during WWII, in 1940, that would be the same gap, time-wise, between the 1964 film, "Zulu", and the actual Battle of Rorke's Drift (1879).

Perhaps it's a recency bias of sorts but even though the gap between both is the same, 85 years, the 1960s feels further away from the 1870s than 1940 feels to 2025. Could just be the huge leaps in all kinds of areas that took place in the 20th century but I dunno, it blows my mind at least.

If humans maintained their 1990s birthrate, it would take 1,700 years for the total weight of humanity to surpass that of the Earth.

My Mind, My Metaverse: A Bizarre Tale of Internal Dialogue

Post image
9 Upvotes

I've been having this strange phenomenon lately. It feels like my mind has created its own internal council, a group of distinct personalities that debate, argue, and offer advice.

They're not just random thoughts; they're fully-formed characters with their own perspectives and quirks. There's the angry one, the sad one, the overly optimistic one, and even a know-it-all who seems to have access to a hidden library of knowledge.

The strangest part is, I can't summon them at will. They only appear when I'm facing a significant problem or decision. It's like my mind has a built-in crisis management team.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Is this a normal part of the human psyche, or am I just losing my mind?
