I’m struggling to think of the movie which depicted this feeling perfectly, maybe there isn’t one and my brain’s just substituting for it.
It feels as though every day is more predictable than the last, every piece of news comes more as a ticking off the list than as a surprise development. I imagine this is a slice of Purgatory in a way, to know the ills expecting you and being served nothing but, with essentially no variability in occurrences.
This may be the first time when we’re not interacting with a Skinner box of a society, ffs, and it’s because THEY came back…
Edit: it’s not Groundhog Day, that one sees things unfolding the same way every time until the character intervenes, this feels like everything’s new, but always predicted.
