When reality is no longer reality

With all the reading and listening I‘ve done on Bitcoin and the economy over the past few years, I tend to agree with Matt Odell‘s sense that directionally Bitcoin is going up forever, but also that there will be big valleys in between, places where we will have to endure pain. I had to cut his reasoning out to get a good quote, but it‘s worth listening back to the whole build up too.
Hey maybe Saylor is right, that would be great. But I see everywhere signs that make me feel the opposite is happening. At an esoteric / spiritual level, and following on from my explorations into the collective vs the individual, it‘s almost like the collective, having totally won over the individual, and become the individual, now hates itself and self harms in order to control or punish itself. And each cycle the collective has gotten bigger, so each cycle the crash is even more extreme and brutal than the last. I find it quite scary.
I don‘t have the answer. We need to act as a collective, but we need to understand that we are also all individuals. Perhaps just ignoring the extremes when they happen is enough. A sort of mass disassociation from reality. At some point that‘s all you have left because reality is no longer actually reality.
And then pickup the pieces and start again, maybe smile if you can manage it. And yeah no doubt it‘s probably slowly turning into a crippling society wide disability, but what else can we do? #
