That's why millennials are so nostalgic about the 1990s. They (as well as younger Xennials like me) were sheltered from the sinister culture anyway. I was aware of the dark trends as a kid, but they didn't concern me personally. I was never a pop-culture maniac.

The idea that reality is an illusion generated by a hostile AI is very sinister and can make a person cynical.
