Then you get asshokes like me who have been on and offline since the 1980s
so how #DAFUQ is #WebofTrust supposed to work if we’re dealing with #traumatized #humanity ?
Just saying.
We weren’t “digital natives.”
We were the #liminal #generation
#Analog #childhoods
#Algorithmic #adulthood
No consent in between.
We were dropped into the internet before literacy, ethics, or guardrails —
not users, test subjects.
Our kids never believed the internet was real.
They #learned #skepticism from our scars.
Feels like we’re the last generation who remembers #unmediated #reality
and the first to live with the #consequences of losing it.
A prequel generation to so many “firsts.”
Anyone else feel this?

My kids are young adults now.
They’ve never believed the internet is “real” — they understand #persona vs #IRL , #narrative #shaping #incentives.
It makes me realize people my age were a kind of #last #generation — the #first #true #test #subjects of the #digital #age
Not natives. Not immune.
Just dropped into an experiment before anyone knew the rules.
Does anyone else feel like we’re a prequel generation to so many “firsts”?
