    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 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
