I can't comprehend how people shoulders deep into internet are supposed to find joy in the simpler things in life like getting married and having children.

The internet is the perfect form of convenience; it has the collective wealth of human knowledge and access to every kind of stimulus that you could possibly want. Feeling horny? Internet has porn. Feeling lonely? Internet has social media. Feeling bored? Internet has every form of visual media conceivable.
As your addiction continues to grow and with it your dependence on it, real life obscures itself and everything outside of your dimly lit room might as well not exist. It reduces your mental faculties along with your ambitions to a barren landscape as the internet provides everything at your fingertips and gives you the mentality that anything past them is not worth the effort.
You are effectively reduced to a husk and are no longer capable of engaging in things pre-Internet you might have been able to. A complete curse that you indulge in of your own will. You will never be able to find joy in those things forever.

And it's only the beginning.
Imagine what things will exist in 50-100 years.

Children would take you away from the Internet and you would be forced to enjoy them.

>tfw might've been a musician or something if I hadn't played video games and browsed the internet obsessively for decades
I mean I probably would've just found another reason to be a lazy sack of shit, but it's weird thinking about what if my dopamine response still worked properly

The worst thing about it all to me is the cheapening of the human experience. Nothing will be sacred in 50-100 years and anything and everything will be sold back to us as products.
Your friends will all be communicating using a means that you have to pay to use when meeting face to face is too costly and time inefficient. Visiting a park will cost someone somewhere money meaning you'll have to pay. None of what humans did decades ago for free will stay that way in the future.
Fuck the human experience, fuck consumerism, fuck humanitarianism. I'd gas 90% of populace just to reduce the number of worthless meatsacks wheezing around. Only defendable meaning to be found is in accumulation of knowledge and humans are only on the short term the best instrument for that purpose to be found on earth. Why can't human race be content with giving birth to an offspring, maybe an AI, maybe some perfected post-human to carry on the pursuit of knowledge and the distant stars, and after that have the decency to die out.
Singularity couldn't come any sooner.
a girl hugged me once and i hugged her back
i just want to know what it feels like to be loved.
