Same. I have always loved it as a fictional genre, and as a fun sort of “what if” form of escapism for life in general. We’ve pretty much taken all the mystery out of the world, so that kind of stuff filled that void for me for a long time. But then it turned into a pipeline to recruit people into right-wing paranoia, and now I can’t really enjoy it anymore.
The techbros all support Fascism, and any kind of free expression is a roadblock for them to make it happen.
Serendipity in my feed.
I wasn’t being literal about there being nothing left unknown in the whole universe. Just that we’ve (at least in the west) culturally outgrown stuff like ghost stories and other supernatural folklore, and that the X-Files type of conspiracy theory entertainment took its place, and it’s hard to enjoy now because that space has been taken over by a bunch of paranoid lunatics.
