Welcome to the Future Nauseous

Leo

Hey everyone, welcome back to the podcast! I'm Leo, and today we're diving into some pretty fascinating territory. We're going to explore the idea of 'future nauseous'—a term that might sound strange at first but trust me, it gets interesting. We often talk about the future as if it's this distant idea, something that’s going to happen 'someday.' But what if I told you that the future is actually happening right now, all around us? It’s like living in a sci-fi movie where we have all these advancements, yet we still feel stuck in a familiar routine. You know, it’s like when we think about all the technologies that have emerged—smartphones, social media, electric cars—and yet, we don’t really feel that different from how we lived a couple of decades ago. How do we reconcile that? It's almost as if there's this invisible bubble we live in, a manufactured normalcy that cushions us from truly experiencing these changes for what they are. And that’s what leads to this existential nausea—a sense of unease as the world shifts under our feet while we continue to cling to what we know. Let’s talk about this further and see how it affects our daily lives and how we perceive technology. It’s not just about what we have; it’s about how we understand and integrate those advancements into our lives.
