this is the best explanation of how the future becomes the present i have ever read. it asserts that there is a normalcy field that hides how alien our world really is. for instance, we don’t experience airplanes as they really are (5G acceleration, zero g, etc), but like a train or coach ride. in a sense we continue to apply 15th century metaphors.

normalcy field failures are becoming more and more common due to the accelerating rate of change. when the normalcy fails, people experience creepiness and call for protection.
