So now humans are bots, even in real life. This is the timeline we live in. This isn’t some parody, or absurd storyline in a tv show where the guy wakes up at the end and realizes all the stupidity was all a dream.

No. This is reality. This is the world we live in. This is Earth.

That’s what I’m afraid of. One day someone will hear the phrase “cognitive atrophy”, and think it’s a good thing. Like they’re getting an award, made of brass, shaped like a gear.

They’ll be like “yaaaaaay, I did it!”
