People have had similar experiences for least a couple thousand years.
Ecclesiastes 1:8-9
All things are full of labor; Man cannot express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor the ear filled with hearing.
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
People have had similar experiences for least a couple thousand years.
Ecclesiastes 1:8-9
Or, as one translation put:
Everything is futile.
