I have ADHD and am lucky enough to be able to dissocciate in certain situations instead of just going insane, but that doesn't sound like this is what they're going for. This is just a cultural madness and/or proof of the lizard people.

ADHD dissociation is the only way to get through life. Time is such a fluid concept for me.

Eh, the hype around it maybe, but it can be a useful/unique experience for some - at least if you're not the type where it'd be acutely painful, in which case do whatever gets you through the flight/whatever.

Think about modern life - how often do you find yourself in a position where there are no acute demands, no expectations for how you need to spend your time, and you can just sit with your thoughts for a few hours? Unless you consciously carve out some time for that, IMO it's pretty rare. Multihour travel as a flight/train/bus passenger affords that time with no special effort.

I like at least attempting it for a chunk of the trip, if not the whole time - imagination starts running wild in cool ways, which otherwise doesn't happen as often as I'd like it to. Though in fairness, if it's a plane the cabin noise usually puts me to sleep during the attempt.

I'll put it this way - if you're the kind of person that finds the idea of isolation tanks appealing, depending on why you may enjoy raw-dogging flights or other passenger travel. 100% not for everyone though, and that's fine - different strokes and all that.
