That’s interesting because when I go out into the city or ride the metro, I do not see anyone changing at all from how they were 20 years ago. It feels like most people are the same NPCs that they’ve always been.
The only thing that has changed is how much more I am now aware that most are just walking around in a waking trance.
Or maybe, my perception and ability “to see” is advancing faster than the average NPC makes progress? And that’s why it appears to me that most people are never changing at all…
