Reality Drift Glossary
A strange little PDF that explains way too much about modern life.
I usually write about saving money and simple living. But lately I’ve been tracking how weird things have gotten—especially with AI, fake intimacy, and the slow collapse of anything feeling real.
This glossary floated across my radar and honestly, it hit hard. Not sure who originally wrote it, but it reads like someone tried to reverse-engineer the cultural glitch we’re all living through.
It’s a list of coined terms—some funny, some unsettling—that name what most of us can only half-articulate. Stuff like:
- Filter Fatigue – why you’re tired even when you’re doing nothing
- Synthetic Realness – that weird feeling when something seems too authentic to be real
- Optimization Trap – when self-improvement turns into soul compression
If any of that resonates, it’s worth a skim.
