What is something you'd actually have a hard time convincing a past version of yourself to believe?

[Irregardless]

It could be anything, an event that occurred, a technology that we have, an experience that you had. Anything that if you were to tell a version of yourself from 10-15 years ago about it, you probably wouldn't believe it.

Some examples for me would be:

1. The world is more sexually promiscuous/degenerate than ever before and yet fewer men are having less sex at higher ages than ever before as well.
2. AI came out of nowhere as this revolutionary thing that can basically do anything you tell it, but also it sort of can't...? Like the things it can do are insane, but at the same time there's a lot of little things that it doesn't/can't do or mistakes it makes.
3. VR technology is in a pretty decent space with really good graphics but for whatever reason most people who use it are pedophiles and furry's that just sit around in chat rooms.

1. We never got to go to Rome with Grandma despite working our ass off for it before she died.
2. We pursued I.T. as a career instead of being a Mortician.
3. We made it in spite of those we were supposed to trust to guide us, and will only be able to rely on ourselves to progress.
4. We lost touch with our beliefs, but we found our way back.
5. Life got better, despite the hardships, we are going to be alright.

Pokegear is real now but people don't use it to go on adventures, they just use it to look at ads and propaganda.

* Hitler was right.
* Alien visits to earth was a psy-op all along.
* Intellectual thought is very enjoyable, but doesn't hold a candle to real world action.
* Power (over yourself) is the meaning of life, because power is life.
* Most people are pretty fucked up once you scratch the surface.
