What you are going to discover is that reality can no longer be identified, to any useful level of confidence. Instead there are a variety of unrealities, the choice among which can only be made on a basis of taste. In this environment, adaptability (which will still be a crucial advantage) consists of the ability to jump between different unrealities. People who get stuck in a single unreality run the risk of its winking out of pseudoexistence, without warning, and taking them with it.
Enjoy your well-earned time off. You will be missed, but the fact that you will return refreshed and over-flowing with interesting facts and information makes it bearable.
I would object, but then I remember, "intermittently" is right in the name of the blog.
