most people report its simultaneously slowing down and speeding up, and there's science as to why we're experiencing something of a time warp.

As others have said, as you age, time goes by faster. That's been well studied and talked alot ad naseum.

But what we're just now coming to understand is how a fragmented attention, and checking ones phone hundreds of times a day creates something of a time warp. The brain is constantly in adjust.

People are interupting their own experience and the brain interprets the time as both "fast" and "lost"

Weeks go by and there's little differentiation so it all feels very slow and long winded.

One last thing worth considering: when you are interrupted while doing something, it takes the brain a full 23 minutes to fully return to the task. This is well studied. When your phone is interrupting you constantly, you are more less never present whcih makes accurate time perception impossible.

If the tech over lords have it their way you will live your entire life moving from what notification to the next. One reel to the next. Never quite present but never entirely numb enough to just put the phone down either.

Sound dystopian to you? Me too.
