Imagine that in the far future, an advanced algorithm can predict with 100% certainty if a person will commit a crime within the next 24 hours. A man is flagged to commit murder in the next 24 hours. There is no evidence of the crime other than the machine's prediction. Should he be arrested ?

No passion for anything

Since having the usual grandstand dreams that every person had as a child I haven't really been passionate about anything.

Throughout all my teenage years I've always had hobbies interests and things that I've enjoyed doing but nothing that would translate into like an actual career or profession you know.I struggled a ton in picking a major in college and felt really disillusioned with how things were going when I was there, thus causing me to take a break from it.Since then I've gone through a couple of gap years where I've just been left wondering about what I should do or even want to do with my life when I'm just content with not doing anything. Like I honestly understand that it's not practical but I genuinely have no iota of passion, drive, or anything similar in my body. I'm fine with how things are but deeply dissatisfied with it at the same time.

But yeah do any of you guys feel the same way ?

DAE feel sad whenever they encounter abandoned accounts ?

Every time I'm surfing old forums here on Reddit and on other platforms, I always stumble upon communities, users, and accounts that have been inactive for a really long time. Whenever I see them, I get this strange feeling of bittersweet nostalgia as if I've missed out on something. It especially hits hard when the user and I had things and interests in common.

It hits even harder the further I go back ie to users that were active in the early 2000s. It's so weird reading messages and profiles that have been basically locked in time. Such a unique sensation experiencing those things from back in the day, and reliving all that culture in the 2020s. Reading messages about their teenage years in detail, hearing about their struggles, dreams, and aspirations that they had back then, it's such a surreal feeling given how much time has passed since then. I constantly wonder all the time if they've achieved any of the goals they had back then, and how their lives seem to be going. So many questions cross my mind, do they still enjoy the hobbies they had back then? Are they still in touch with anyone they used to interact with online? How much have they changed as a person? A majority of them are probably fully fledged adults who are middle-aged and are completely different people living unrecognizable lives in comparison to their younger selves, but I hope at least some of them haven't given up on the things that they enjoyed and seemed to be so passionate about back in the day.

It does cross my mind a decent amount if they've passed, as some surely have, but it's probably something else. I always hope that they return at some point and relight that passion once again

But yeah, do any of you guys feel the same way ?
