Two things that future people will consider completely insane, which everybody takes for granted:

1. That you should have a television in your home. I'm not some kind of hipster, but it is just completely crazy when you think about it. How come that for decades it has been the norm that people - families - have a machine in their middle of their house which spews out the lowest form of government propaganda, mixed with the most obnoxious advertisements, mixed with abhorrent degeneracy of violence, damaging sexuality and humiliation of people. And this machine has been worshipped much higher than any God by the generations which are now old people. Who then complain about the behaviour of younger generations, which have been raised to behave like that by their "God" the TV.

In a sane world, a person who put a television in their family house would be shunned as a freak by his or her community, loose their job, and be forced to move. But now it's been the norm - for decades.

2. That you're supposed to document everything you do and post it to Instagram. This is a recent insanity, but it's become a mind virus to most people and they are no longer capable of enjoying anything in life for what it is. Rather the purpose of uploading to Instagram takes priority. For what? Instagram pays zero for people to upload their photos and videos. Can't you tell your friends later what you did and show them the photos? I get the appeal, but does it have to be all the time for the rest of your life?
