139. Explaining The "Time Change" Post-2000 & Again Post-2020

from Fit To Be Real: & A Little Extra

Do you remember the scare of Y2K? Staring at the clock at mid-night waiting for some monumental change to happen? Well, obviously, nothing happened. However, what did happen was a shift in our mental ability due to the advancement of technology. Something we didn’t even realize was happening at the time. It didn’t last long though. There was a major shift after 2020 as well. This time it was a distortion of our memory and time itself. 2020 felt like 10 years of life went by in 365 days….but why?
