From the POV of self, everyone else is an NPC . Everything that feels human or solid or "real" dissolves when you poke at it. Even literal matter dissolves when you zoom into it.

It's very tiring to be holding the whole world in your mind all the time. It weighs nothing and yet it is one of the greatest burdens on the soul.

Even with the world is horcruxed into a smartphone the mere proximity of the miniature universe creates its own gravity.

The world expands when there are enough people vibrating at the "I am IN the world" state while it contracts in areas where people are vibrating "The world in the palm of my hand." state.

In case you're lost the general theme I'm expressing here is why this black mirror episode felt so weird.https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/12/29/16804664/black-mirror-uss-callister-recap-season-4-review …

I think what the world is waiting for now is for board game night to lose its charm. When the concept of any game feels like a hackneyed DLC. That's when we'll start opening the curtains to reality.

Feel bored? Congratulations, you're nearing the end of the game. No pressure. It's up to you to decide to cross over. If you still want to play the games feel free. Once you're bored...then come back...

Learning to love boredom is like the super sized challenge of learning to like vegetables as a kid. It's a 10,000 hour thing, like differentiating wine, math, or a musical instrument. The 'loving' doesn't start until you've put in the work.

Most people plateau. They feel "stuck". That they just can't improve any more at math or piano. Whatever level of difficulty you get stuck at is also where you're stuck at with boredom appreciation.

Boredom appreciation is the same as life appreciation, being happy to just be alive is something that requires a 'beginner's mind'. The willingness to suspend boredom and actively search for the interestingness.

The marshmallow test tests the primal addiction children of sugar. I'd wager a guess that the 'good parents' who pass the 'get the kid to eat vegetables' test also raise children who can pass the marshmallow test better.
