He’s describing liminal space. It has nothing to do with being tricked into thinking you’re on a space station. It’s about being somewhere our brain knows should have lots of people, but you’re alone.
I’ve walked through train stations late at night and had those moments before. A gaping maw of a walkway meant for rush hour pedestrian traffic… completely empty and silent.
Edit: ??? I guess liminal space is really upsetting for some people.
I think people are downvoting because the liminal aspect is not at all relevant
I was going to say, i think it's also just because the post was about what the second person said, but your response was focusing on the first, so it seemed off topic
My comment was in response to what the assistant producer said. Specifically, the very last line.
But you all do you.
I don't personally care, but you asked so I was just giving my theory on what it might be
Hey i just wanted to say my condolences for your downvotes and im here if you want to talk
